Properly fried mushrooms will not be too soft and dull, soggy or dry. They are of a beautiful, even golden brown color, delicate and aromatic. Mushrooms contain up to 90% liquid, so very often inexperienced cooks make mistakes when frying them and do not fry them, but stew them in their own juice.
It is necessary
-
- mushrooms;
- butter or vegetable oil;
- salt
- pepper;
- greens;
- balsamic vinegar;
- garlic;

Instructions
Step 1
Try not to wash the mushrooms by adding extra moisture to them, but to clean them with a dry brush. If you still need to rinse them, try to do it quickly and then pat dry the mushrooms with paper towels. For frying, you need absolutely dry mushrooms. If you are going to fry boiled mushrooms, drain the broth and let them dry. But keep in mind that stewed mushrooms or mushroom caviar are best obtained from such a product.
Step 2
Preheat the frying pan over high heat. Do not start frying in a warm skillet, this is how you will get a lot of liquid and mushrooms stewed in mushroom broth, since they will release water before they are fried.
Step 3
If you fry mushrooms, fry them in a dry skillet until all the liquid has evaporated. It takes no more than 2-3 minutes. Then add the oil. Otherwise, put enough butter or oil in the pan so that the bottom is completely covered.
Step 4
Place the mushrooms in a single layer in a skillet and fry over high heat until the liquid evaporates. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, reduce heat and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes until tender. Pour in a few tablespoons of sherry or red wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Before removing the mushrooms from the heat, add the finely chopped herbs - parsley, green onions, rosemary, thyme - and stir.
Step 5
You can season the fried mushrooms with the following sauce: mix finely chopped thyme with a few cloves of also finely chopped garlic, a tablespoon of olive oil and a few drops of balsamic vinegar. With this mixture, you can season ready-made fried mushrooms directly in a bowl, not in a pan.
Step 6
If you want to fry mushrooms with onions, then add the latter after the mushrooms turn golden and you reduce the heat. Cut the onion to the mushrooms into small cubes.
