A real simple and easy Mushroom sandwich recipe that is made with a stuffing of savory sautéed mushrooms together with spring onions, garlic, herbs and seasonings. The sandwiches can either be toasted or grilled.
Firstly, rinse or wipe the mushrooms and then chop them. Then, heat olive oil in a pan. You can also use butter instead of olive oil.
Add chopped garlic. Sauté till the raw aroma of garlic goes away. There is no need to brown the garlic.
Then, add chopped spring onions with the greens. Sauté for a minute on low to medium heat. You can also add ⅓ cup chopped onions instead of spring onions. If adding onions, then sauté till they are translucent.
Now, add the chopped mushrooms.
Stir and sauté on low to medium heat.
Initially the mushrooms will leave lot of water.
Continue to sauté till all the water evaporates.
Once all the water has evaporated, add dried oregano, crushed black pepper and chopped parsley or coriander leaves. Also, add salt as per taste. You can add any dried herb or fresh herbs of your choice.
Mix well. Switch off the heat.
