How To Make Sautéed Portobello Mushrooms

Start by prepping your mushrooms. Wipe them clean and slice into strips.

Add mushrooms and oil of your choice to a skillet. Set heat to high. Once oil starts sizzling, toss the mushrooms and bring heat down to medium high.

Continue cooking for 5 minutes at this temperature, stirring the mushrooms every minute.

At this point, bring the temperature down to medium. Cook (stirring occasionally) for 3 more minutes.

Once mushrooms are soft and tender, it’s time to add the seasonings. Sprinkle on salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Mix up the mushrooms once more and remove skillet from heat. Use spatula to turn mushrooms out onto serving plate

Cooking Tips

• You can use any type of vegetable oil for cooking these portobello mushrooms
• Gills will darken when cooked, don’t worry- this does not mean that they are burned
• Wait until the end of cooking time to add seasonings

Do You Have To Scrape The Gills Out Of Portobello Mushrooms?

Only if it’s your preference. They are perfectly edible, but some people like to scape them out before cooking portobellos with other foods, as the gills can turn the whole dish a darker color.

What Is The Best Way To Remove The Gills From Portobello Mushrooms?

If you choose to remove the gills from portobellos, first remove the stem, if there is one. Next use a teaspoon to gently scrape the gills off the underside of the mushroom cap.
