Prep Time10 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time20 mins
 1 lb (450g) fresh mushrooms (button or cremini work well), cleaned and sliced
 4-5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
 1/4 cup olive oil
 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional for heat)
 Salt and pepper to taste
 2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
 Lemon wedges for serving
1

Sauté the Garlic:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and chili flakes (if using), sautéing until the garlic is just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to burn it.

2

Cook the Mushrooms:

Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat the mushrooms with the olive oil and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices.

3

Add Flavors:

If using sherry, add it to the pan and let it cook off for a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley.

4

Serve:

Transfer the mushrooms and their juices to a serving dish. Squeeze a little lemon over the top and serve immediately, ideally with crusty bread to mop up the delicious garlic-infused oil.
