Garlic Mushrooms

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Buttery Garlic Mushrooms with a flavour twist! The herb garlic butter sauce is so good, you’ll be serving these mushrooms with everything!

Pan seared Garlic Mushrooms are a staple side in any restaurant, bistro, pub or steakhouse, and a huge favourite in homes all over the world. BUT, over the years I have made a few changes and added a couple of extra ingredients to regular garlic mushrooms to get the BEST flavour!

You will love this easy and delicious 10-minute side dish that pairs with anything! Low carb and Keto approved!

Garlic Mushrooms

Melt-in-your mouth garlic mushrooms can be enjoyed at breakfast (think Sheet Pan Full Breakfast With Garlic Butter Mushrooms), as a side to Roast Chicken, Pork Roast with Crackle or with a juicy Steakhouse Steak. They are so versatile, you can even stuff mushrooms inside chicken breasts! Or keep it simple and serve them on your toasts (or garlic bread).

Normally, garlic mushrooms are cooked in butter and garlic, hence the name of the recipe. However, you will love the extra ingredients we add even more! Because an extra kick of flavour never hurt anyone!

HOW TO MAKE GARLIC MUSHROOMS

For my recipe, you only need a handful of ingredients:

  • Mushrooms
  • Unsalted butter — use unsalted to control the amount of salt added.
  • Olive oil — just a little oil added to the butter gets them nice and crispy on the outer edges and prevents the butter from burning.
  • Garlic — please use fresh where you can.
  • Herbs — we love parsley and thyme, but you can use oregano, rosemary, basil, etc.
  • Salt and pepper.

Optional:

Onion — green, red, yellow or white! This is an optional ingredient BUT I find it enhances the garlic flavour.
Dry white wine — also optional. If you’ve never added wine to your garlic mushrooms, you won’t regret trying it.

That’s it! The two additional (and optional) ingredients of white wine and onion is what makes this recipes stand out from regular garlic mushrooms — in a good and tasty way!

HOW TO CLEAN MUSHROOMS

Wipe each mushroom over with a damp paper towel for soft pastry brush if needed to remove loose dirt and debris. Work one at a time.
Lightly rinse under cold water and thoroughly pat dry with paper towel.
Avoid soaking mushrooms as they will absorb water like a sponge and won’t brown during cooking.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Pretty much anything goes…especially for mushroom lovers. Garlic mushrooms are perfect with steak, ribs, salmon, chicken and pork chops. Or serve them as an appetizer alongside an epic Cheeseboard!

Mushroom Tips

Size: Find mushrooms that are about the same size to ensure even cooking.
Type: We use button mushrooms as pictured here, or you can use Cremini (Swiss brown) or wild mushrooms. Choose a mushroom type you are familiar with!
Rinse mushrooms before slicing and when you are ready to cook to prevent them from getting slimy.

    I cut the mushrooms in quarters and used lemon juice instead of white wine, but heard red wine works good too if you use a little but of it.

    I made this last night, with my grilled beer can chicken. I was delicious. I couldn’t find any fresh mushrooms though. So I bought canned whole button mushrooms. Other than that I followed the recipe completely. My husband raves about them. I rinsed the mushrooms really well in cold water and then let dry before I cooked them. Can only imagine how great they would have tasted with fresh mushrooms. Definitely making again. Thanks for all your recipes. They are great!! Every time I want to try something different, I now come straight to your archive of recipes to find something tasty.

    Is this the calorie count for the whole dish? What about the added unsalted butter? It is like around 350 or less.

    First let me just say that I usually don’t comment on anything! So let me just say this.. the Garlic Mushrooms were such a hit in my house! I cooked 1 pound of sliced portobellos following your recipe and they are all gone. My son who hates mushrooms went back for seconds! Definitely will be cooking them again!

    I made this recipe tonight as a side dish with my stuffed peppers and it was my favorite part of the meal! I didn’t have wine so I used a little bit of beer. I also didn’t have parsley so I substituted with a bit of cilantro. The flavor was exceptional, especially of the thyme! It came together so quickly too. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again. Thanks so much for the tip about the onion. I’ve tried other garlic mushroom recipes but this might be my new favorite!

    For those that don’t care for wine, replace it with a shot of Jack Daniels. Less healthy, but so good, is to add a little brown sugar to the butter and let dissolve before adding the mushrooms.
