Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: clean the oyster mushrooms and finely chop the fresh garlic and parsley.
- Marinate Mushrooms: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped garlic, parsley, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt. Add the oyster mushrooms and toss gently to coat evenly. Let the mixture marinate for 10 minutes if time permits. If short on time, proceed to the next step.
- Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat for a minute. Add a small amount of olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
- Sear Mushrooms: Once the skillet is hot, place the marinated mushrooms in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Leave enough space between each piece for even cooking and searing.
- Cook: Let the mushrooms sear undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes on one side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Then, gently turn them over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Serve: Once the mushrooms are seared to perfection on both sides, remove from heat and serve immediately.
