Tony's Sauteed Garlic Mushrooms (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
02 - 450 g mushrooms (white button, baby bella, or crimini), sliced 6 mm thick
03 - 2–4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 30 ml lemon juice
05 - 60 ml white vermouth, Marsala, or dry red wine
06 - 15 g plain flour (optional; omit for gluten-free preparation)
07 - Kosher salt, to taste
08 - Ground black pepper, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add extra virgin olive oil and minced garlic. As the garlic begins to sizzle, stir gently to prevent it from sticking or browning.
02 - Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are evenly coated with oil and begin to soften, approximately 2–3 minutes.
03 - Stir in lemon juice and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow the mushrooms to absorb the liquid; after one to two minutes, they will start to release their own juices.
04 - Sprinkle plain flour over the mushrooms and stir for one minute to cook off the raw flavor. The flour will absorb pan liquids and begin to form a slight film on the bottom of the skillet.
05 - Pour in the wine. Stir gently as the sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes until the sauce reaches desired consistency. Serve immediately as a side or topping.

# Notes:

01 - For gluten-free dining, omit the flour and proceed directly to deglazing with wine.
