Boiled Sliced Mushrooms Recipe

Boiled Sliced Mushrooms Recipe

• 5g green tea rubs (a mixture of green tea leaves, sugar, and spices)
• 1 lb (450g) mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or almonds, for garnish

1. Prepare the Green Tea Rubs:
   • Combine the green tea leaves, sugar, and spices in a small bowl to create the green tea rubs. This mixture will be used to season the mushrooms.
2. Season the Mushrooms:
   • Pat the sliced mushrooms dry with paper towels. Rub the green tea rubs all over the mushrooms, pressing the rubs into the flesh to ensure they adhere well.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.
4. Simmer the Sauce:
   • Stir in the chicken broth and white wine (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook the Mushrooms:
   • Add the seasoned mushrooms to the skillet with the sauce. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly translucent.
6. Finish and Serve:
   • Transfer the mushrooms to a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over the mushrooms. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, toasted pine nuts or almonds.
7. Serve Immediately:
   • Serve the Boiled Sliced Mushrooms immediately, enjoying the tender, flavorful mushrooms with the rich, savory sauce and the subtle hint of green tea from the rubs.
