Ingredients
For the Mushrooms:
- 4 tbsp sunflower oil
- 400 g mushrooms
- 1 onion julienned
- 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 30 g butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
For the Garlic Sauce:
- 200 ml Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Chili flakes optional, to taste
- 1 tsp agave syrup
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp chives chopped
Instructions
- Start by wiping the mushrooms clean with a napkin or cloth to remove any dirt (avoid washing them with water).
- Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the whole mushrooms and cook them without stirring too much, allowing them to brown for several minutes.
- Once the mushrooms are browned, add the julienned onion and finely chopped garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook until the onions become translucent and the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Next, add the butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt and coat the mushrooms, onions, and garlic.
- Sprinkle in salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian herbs. Stir to combine, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly coated with the spices. Add some finely chopped parsley and mix briefly before removing the skillet from the heat.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the garlic sauce by combining Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Press the garlic and add it to the mixture, then season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if you like some heat). Stir in agave syrup, chopped parsley, and chives. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- To serve, arrange the sautéed mushrooms on a plate. Drizzle the garlic sauce over the mushrooms or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
