The SAUTEED PLEUROTUS MUSHROOMS are a savory and delicate side dish that can accompany a good roast, scaloppine, or can be served on their own because of how tasty they are. They’re also perfect, I assure you, as a pasta topping or as a filling for a white focaccia, perhaps accompanied by a smear of spreadable cheese.
The characteristic of this side dish lies in the particular quality of pleurotus mushrooms which, unlike other varieties—even more celebrated ones—have an extraordinary meatiness that holds up after cooking, making them particularly pleasant to eat. Additionally, the simple aroma of garlic and parsley, which should be added quite generously especially at the end of cooking, enhances the delicate but truly delicious flavor of these mushrooms.
In short, sauteed pleurotus mushrooms are a simple dish—especially if you follow the photo-recipe below—but definitely worth trying.

Steps
The preparation of SAUTEED PLEUROTUS MUSHROOMS is very easy and quick.
Clean the pleurotus mushrooms by separating the stems, which are tougher, from the cluster and remove any dirt. Rinse them quickly under running water or, better yet, wipe them with a damp cloth. Then cut them into strips.
In a large pan add a generous drizzle of oil, the garlic clove and some of the chopped parsley. Sauté everything over low heat for a few minutes, add the mushrooms and let them absorb the flavors for 10 minutes.
Deglaze with the white wine, let it evaporate and season with salt. Cover with a lid and cook for another 10 minutes over low heat, adding a little water if they dry out too much.
When cooked, turn off the heat, add more chopped parsley and serve your sauteed pleurotus mushrooms hot.
