Mushrooms often are at their best when prepared in the most basic way like this simple mushroom and garlic saute. This recipe is also great for a gluten free life style, with just a few simple and natural ingredients producing very flavorful and filling meal!
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Add mushrooms and garlic, and saute for 2-3 minutes, regularly stirring with spatula. Sprinkle the mushrooms with a little bit of salt, cover with the lid and continue cooking the mushrooms for another 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring. Having the lid on will allow mushrooms generate some moisture and not get burned.
Remove the lid after mushrooms have released their moisture and saute for another 5 or so minutes. Total cooking time from the beginning to end should be about 15 - 20 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions.
