Oyster Mushroom Sautéed in Garlic

Filed under: Delicious Bite, Tagged as: , , ,

The oyster mushroom gets its name from its cap which, some say, resembles an oyster. The stem of the oyster mushrooms is perhaps more distinct; it unfurls something like one of those old-time paper lady's fans.

The oyster mushroom has been cultivated in Asia for centuries. Today it is very popular in Japanese and Chinese cooking; it is usually stuffed or stir-fried.

The flavor of the oyster mushroom is somewhere between anise and oyster. The flavor mellows with cooking. Young oyster mushrooms, say 1½ inches in diameter or less, are considered the best eating.

Here is a delicious preparation for sautéed oyster mushrooms that takes less than 5 minutes including preparation time. You will find this a mild but flavorful meal or side dish. If you can't find oyster mushrooms, choose another medium cap mushroom.

Ingredients

2 cups oyster mushrooms

3 tablespoons butter

4 teaspoons chopped shallots

1 teaspoon finely sliced garlic

4 teaspoons chopped parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons white wine

Directions

1 Remove mushroom stems and slice the caps coarsley.

2 In a skillet, melt butter. Sauté oyster mushrooms for 2 minutes.

3 Add shallots, garlic, and parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute longer stirring. Add white wine, heat for 30 seconds and serve.
