lion’s mane mushroom recipe—a fluffy, wild-looking variety that’s making waves in kitchens everywhere.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Lion’s Mane mushrooms (cleaned and sliced into ½-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon

Instructions

  1. Clean the Mushrooms: Gently wipe them with a damp paper towel. No soaking—mushrooms absorb water like sponges.
  2. Slice and Sear: Heat your olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Add Garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and stir for 1–2 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when your kitchen smells amazing.
  4. Season and Serve: Sprinkle with pepper, sal, and fresh herbs. Add a little lemon juice if you’re feeling fancy.

Notes

  1. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Mushrooms release moisture as they cook, so give them space to sear instead of steam.
  2. High Heat is Key: Medium-high heat gives you that crispy, golden-brown finish.
  3. Season at the End: Salt draws out moisture, so wait until the mushrooms are nearly done to add it.
