Italian Garlic Mushroom Recipe in Olive Oil

I am back to blogging as a few projects of mine have got completed and now I have some spare time to start blogging again. This Italian Garlic Mushroom recipe is for a request I got, to post some recipes which uses Olive oil ( Jaitoon ka tel in Hindi ).

My first recipe is an Italian one. I discovered this dish in “Il Fungo Magico” – an Italian restaurant in Koregaon Park – a suburb of Pune – Maharashtra.

This is an easy and quick recipe made with mushrooms and herbs. As a variation, you could also add baby corns to give it a different and unique angle. Adding baby corns makes the dish great and awesome. Without baby corns too this dish tastes great.

1. Clean and chop the mushrooms.
2. In a pan, heat the olive oil.
3. Add garlic and saute it for a minute. You can add the chopped onion at this stage and saute them till they are transparent.

5. Saute the mushrooms. The mushrooms will loose water and shrink in size.
