Steps
Clean the Pleurotus mushrooms using a damp cloth or kitchen paper to remove any dirt. I advise against washing them under running water, as they might absorb too much.
Cut the bottom part of the stem and divide the larger mushrooms into smaller pieces.
In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil. Add the whole garlic cloves and let them brown over medium-low heat until golden, being careful not to burn them.
Add the Pleurotus mushrooms and stir well to flavor them with the oil and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10/15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will release some water during cooking, which will evaporate by the end.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and, if desired, add a bit of chili pepper.
Our pan-fried Pleurotus mushrooms are ready. Enjoy your meal!
