Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mushrooms — Make sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before slicing them. You can use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe off any dirt or debris. Avoid washing them under running water as mushrooms tend to absorb water and become soggy.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic.
• Experiment with different types of mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms to vary the taste and texture.
• Serve the garlic mushrooms with crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic-infused oil.
• If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the number of garlic cloves used.
• To make it a heartier dish, you can add a splash of white wine or sherry while cooking the mushrooms.

Serving advice

Serve the garlic mushrooms as a tapas dish alongside other Spanish favorites like patatas bravas, Spanish tortilla, or gambas al ajillo. They also make a fantastic side dish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

Presentation advice

Garnish the garlic mushrooms with a sprinkle of fresh parsley to add a pop of color. Serve them in a rustic clay dish or a small cazuela to enhance the Spanish dining experience.
