Appliances and Special Utensils
Non-stick skillet
Stove
Wooden spoon or spatula
Chef’s knife
Cutting board
Ingredients
8 oz Lion’s Mane mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
Lemon juice (optional, for garnish)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Mushrooms: Clean the Lion’s Mane mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt. Cut them into thick slices or tear them into bite-sized pieces with your hands.
- Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Allow it to heat up until it’s shimmering or melted.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add the Lion’s Mane mushrooms to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes. This allows them to brown nicely.
-
Season and Stir: Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or rosemary if using. Stir the mushrooms occasionally, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the mushrooms are cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. If desired, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the mushrooms and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a side dish or as a topping for salads, pasta, or toast.
