Cowboy Mushrooms are a savory, buttery appetizer featuring tender baby bella mushrooms sautéed with garlic, Worcestershire and soy sauces, and finished with fresh parsley. This easy-to-make dish offers rich umami flavors perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Simmer to Thicken: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more, letting the sauce thicken slightly and intensify in flavor.
  6. 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.
