Garlic Butter Mushroom

The garlic butter mushrooms recipe is the one that makes everyone’s mouth water every time I make it. This combination itself is something special. I love making it for my husband and this recipe has become our go-to food that makes our simple weeknights into something special. Initially, When I started experimenting with mushrooms & their different variations, I was craving something that was quick & easy to prepare as well as packed with flavour. This garlic butter mushroom ticks all the empty spaces. The ground flavours and earthiness of the mushrooms combine with a strong punch of garlic and buttery richness, creating a symphony of flavours that is really hard to resist. This dish perfectly goes with pasta or rice dishes – a great side dish. My husband has a different kind of love for mushrooms, it reminds him how he misses his mother’s mushroom recipe. So, I took it as a challenge and created something that would become our own family recipe. Let’s discuss the ingredients you need to make this delicious recipe Mushrooms Use any kind of mushrooms. I used white buttons, but you can use cremini, or baby bellas. Or sometimes a mix of them is also not bad. Oil Just a little olive oil for nice and crispy sauteed mushrooms. It also prevents butter from burning. Butter I used unsalted butter. It gives control over salt. Mushrooms already have natural salt. So if you’re using salted butter add less salt. Garlic Use fresh garlic for the punch. It gives rich umami flavour. The quantity should depend upon your taste. Add little or more as you wish. Parsley Optional. It elevates the flavour of mushrooms. ( And I just love to add more) Salt & pepper Some seasoning needed. Some recipes also call for lemon juice. You can drizzle some fresh juice. It gives freshness to the mushrooms.  Steps Mushrooms can absorb water too easily, So give a quick rinse under water and then pat dry with a damp paper towel. Now cut the mushroom in half or you can cook it just as it is. In the large pan, On the medium heat melt 4-5 tablespoon of butter. Then add mushrooms to the pan in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd – cook in batches if necessary. Let mushrooms cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on one side. Add remaining butter and minced garlic, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add some salt & Pepper according to your taste. At the end garnish it with some fresh parsley or cilantro. And its ready to serve. Health benefits of mushrooms: Mushrooms are packed with antioxidants, Vitamins and minerals. They are a true nutritional powerhouse. They’re also high in fibre, and low in calories, making them perfect food for loosing weight. Mushrooms are also a natural source of vitamin D, Selenium and copper.   The Fascinating World of Mushroom In many parts of the world, mushrooms grow but certain varieties thrive in some specific areas. For example, white button mushrooms are cultivated worldwide and other varieties like porcini are found in European forests. Shiitake mushrooms are famous in Asia and enoki are in North America. Mushrooms need dark and humid conditions for better cultivation. They need careful temperature and humidity control. Tips on how to wash mushrooms properly.  The best way to clean the mushrooms is to lightly wipe each with a damp paper towel or soft pastry brush. This will remove dirt and debris. Then a quick rinse under the cold water and thoroughly pat dry it with a paper towel. Mushrooms tend to absorb water just like a sponge. So avoid soaking them in water since you don’t want watery and soggy mushrooms.  Storage options: Fresh mushrooms: You can store mushrooms in a paper bag for up to 1 week in the fridge. Cooked mushroom: Keep it in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Dried mushroom: You can store dried mushrooms in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months in an airtight container.   Can I use dried mushrooms instead of fresh? Yes, but rehydrate them first in warm water for 20-30 minutes. Why are my mushrooms rubbery? This usually happens when the pan is too crowded or the heat is too low. Can I make this recipe vegan? Absolutely! Replace butter with olive oil or vegan butter. You May Also Like !!!

Homemade berry jam (Without pectin)

This homemade mixed berry jam is made using seasonal berries like – strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. This jam is so delicious that you’ll want to put it on everything from bread and pancakes to ice cream. Mixed-Berry-Jam The best thing about homemade berry jam is that you can adjust the sugar level. Use seasonal berries that already have natural sugar inside so they’re fresh, delicious yet healthy. Seasonal fruits jam I think everyone loves summer fruits. There’s a tradition in my family that in every summer we used to go to the local farmers market and pick up eachothers favourite berries. It’s always been fun to experiment with different flavours and sharing with my family and friends.    I always used to ask my mom why she made dozens of jars of jam for our friends. The answer is simple: we love to share things. And oh heavens, that legacy runs in me now.  Mixed Berry Jam How it works wonders Triple berries like strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, when combined – A Deadly combination. Traditionally, Jam making is amazing . Homemade jam = less sugar. My favourite part of making homemade jam is the ability to control the amount of sugar level. If you buy the jam from the store please read the nutrition level. There’s loads of sugar levels in there.  Also, I would like to add that, this won’t be set as store-bought jam. Because mine is pectin free.!! How to make homemade berry jam Get your jars ready. Before you start, sterilise your jars and put a plate in the freezer to chill. Gather your ingredients like berries, lemon juice and sugar into a pan. Turn on the flame and start stirring it with a wooden spoon. Let it hit until sugar is melted and fruits become softer. Let it boil for about 5 minutes. Cook uncovered and keep stirring. After about 15 minutes the jam will start to thicken. Now, place triple berry jam into the jars. Remove any air bubbles. Put your jars for 7-10 minutes in boiling water. How to check if the jam is done cooking. It’s a cool trick. Place a metal tray in the freezer before you start cooking your jam. Add a small amount of jam to the tray.  If the jam doesn’t run then you’re good to go. It is set!! If it’s too runny, cook for another 5 minutes and repeat the same process.

Ingredients for Benedictine Spread English Cucumber Using 2 fresh cucumbers makes it more creamy and spreadable. It gives a cooling flavour and helps the mix a little softer. Squeezing excess liquid from the cucumber makes the dip more creamy. Sour Cream It makes this dip more spreadable and a little tangy. Cream cheese To give the rich taste to your dip. Red Onion This is optional. I like the crunch of red onion in my dip. Black Pepper Fine crushed black pepper for some heat. Kosher Salt Add a little to make the dip enjoyable. Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Yield: 10 muffins Stpes Peel and grate your cucumber, after that using a paper towel squeeze out the excess liquid.

So these cucumber sandwiches are best served immediately but you can store them in an airtight container for up to three days. You should avoid freezing the spread, as it will get grainy and watery once you thaw.   You can also make an avocado spread if you want to try out different bread spreads Why cucumber benedictine is so greenish? Cucumber benedictine’s greenish hue comes naturally from the cucumbers, creating a soothing visual effect. While some recipes add food coloring for a fresher appearance, letting the natural cucumber color shine through is often preferred. Tips You May Also Like !!!
