Creamy Spicy Mushrooms Recipe
Cook mushrooms - Even though button mushrooms are the simplest way to create this dish, choose your favorite, and then slice them into thick pieces. In the first step, season mushrooms with salt, and sauté in olive oil. As they cook, the mushrooms will release water and become tender. This will take about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cook the base sauce of this dish.
Make creamy mushrooms - Start with melting butter in a pan. Butter adds immense flavor to this dish, however, you can use olive oil for a healthier option. Fry onions and garlic followed by the addition of sautéed mushrooms, oregano, parsley, chili flakes, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat mushrooms with the spices and herbs. Finally, add cream to get that thick, rich texture. Simmer this for about 2-3 minutes. A generous sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley makes it aesthetic as well as flavorful.
