Mushroom Mixture
- 1 lb baby bella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Prepare Mushrooms: Wipe the mushrooms clean using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if they appear dry or tough to ensure even cooking and better texture.
- Melt Butter and Cook Garlic: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Add the baby bella mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly browned and tender but still maintaining a satisfying texture.
- Add Sauces and Seasoning: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well to coat all the mushrooms evenly with the flavorful sauce.
- Simmer to Thicken: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more, letting the sauce thicken slightly and intensify in flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve the Cowboy Mushrooms hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh baby bella mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
- Wiping mushrooms instead of washing prevents waterlogging and keeps them tender.
- Adjust black pepper to your preferred level of heat.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine and use tamari instead of Worcestershire sauce (which traditionally contains anchovies).
- Serve immediately to enjoy the mushrooms at their juiciest.
