Mushroom and Garlic Saute (Paleo, Gluten Free)

Mushroom and Garlic Saute (Paleo, Gluten Free)

Mushrooms sautéed in olive oil and minced garlic, topped with chopped green onions. Simple, delicious, meatless, low-carb, paleo, gluten free recipe. Perfect side dish for grilled meats.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 oz button mushrooms , thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic , chopped
• salt and pepper
• 4 green onions , finely chopped

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add sliced mushrooms and garlic, and saute for about 3 minutes, regularly stirring with spatula. 
2. Sprinkle the mushrooms with a little bit of salt, cover with the lid and continue cooking the mushrooms for another 2 minutes, occasionally stirring. Having the lid on will allow mushrooms generate some moisture and not get burned. 
3. Remove the lid after mushrooms have released their moisture and saute for another 5 or so minutes on medium-high heat, stirring with spatula. 
4. Total cooking time from the beginning to end should be under 15 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions.
