Description

These sautéed mushrooms are a flavorful and easy side dish perfect for complementing any meal. Using a variety of mushrooms like enoki, shiitake, and cremini enhances the dish with a delightful mix of textures and rich, complex flavors. The mushrooms are cooked in olive oil to a golden brown, then finished with a splash of rice vinegar, tamari, fresh garlic, and tarragon for a fresh and savory finish.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 16 ounces mixed mushrooms (enoki, shiitake, cremini), sliced or chopped
  • Heaping ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the mushrooms.
  2. Add Mushrooms and Season: Add 16 ounces of mixed mushrooms, along with ¼ teaspoon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to coat the mushrooms evenly with oil and seasoning.
  3. Sear the Mushrooms: Let the mushrooms cook without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes. This step helps develop a golden brown sear for enhanced flavor and texture.
  4. Continue Cooking: Shake the pan gently to move the mushrooms, then continue cooking, stirring only occasionally, for an additional 5 to 8 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and well-browned. The cook time depends on the size and type of the mushrooms.
  5. Add Flavorings: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon tamari, and 1 minced or grated garlic clove. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
  6. Finish and Serve: Turn off the heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh tarragon over the mushrooms. Serve the sautéed mushrooms hot as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • For best results, use a variety of mushrooms to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Do not stir the mushrooms immediately; letting them sear adds depth of flavor.
  • Tamari can be substituted with soy sauce if needed, but tamari is gluten-free.
  • Fresh tarragon adds a distinctive anise-like flavor; dried tarragon can be used in a pinch but fresh is preferred.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a topping for toast or steaks.
