Mushroom Tapas
This version of the Spanish mushroom tapas, champiñones al ajillo, is a confit of mushrooms and garlic rather than a classic sautéed preparation. This means wonderfully tender mushrooms, creamy spreadable garlic, and a ton of mushroom garlic oil for dipping. Just add crusty bread and wine. Buen provecho!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1 lb. cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 head garlic, cloves removed and peeled
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, shaking occasionally until they're deep brown, about 5 minutes. Add chili flakes, garlic, remaining oil, and sea salt. Once oil is bubbling, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 25 minutes.
- Stir together parsley, lemon zest, and juice. Stir in 2 tbsp oil from the mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve mushrooms warm in all or some of the oil. Drizzle with parsley sauce.
Notes
Tip: The mushroom garlic oil can be refrigerated for later use. Use in a salad dressing or drizzle on pasta, pizza, or just about anything.
