We all need to have a quick and easy side dish up our sleeve that goes with a variety of dinners. This mushroom sauté recipe is just that. It’s simple enough that you can easily include it in your weeknight dinner lineup. Yet, sautéed mushrooms are always elegant enough to include as a holiday side. Your Christmas menu isn’t set? Here you go.
Not only does this work as a side dish, if you want, you can totally make this a vegetarian or vegan dinner. Serve the mushrooms over a bed of creamy polenta, like I did, and you are set. That’s a dinner my dreams are made of.
Apparently mushrooms are a huge divider. People either love them or they hate them. I don’t understand the haters. Mushrooms make me swoon. Just looking at these pictures creates a Pavlov response in me that makes me want to start cooking at 5 o’clock in the morning. Unfortunately, I’ve eaten up all the mushrooms in the house, so I’m going to have to wait. I hope you don’t have to wait too long before you try these mushrooms. Have a fabulous weekend, friends!

I just made this and served it with New York Strips and cauliflower mash. They were AMAZING! I could seriously eat this side dish as a main course.

Great to hear, Cindy!
I don’t understand the haters either especially with a recipe like this. My family will love it!
MMM MMM MMM! I love to make mushrooms exactly like this and put them on top of a bison burger — so good!
