CHAMPINONES AL AJILLO ( GARLIC MUSHROOMS)

Champinones Al Ajillo ( Garlic Mushrooms) image

This is a classical Spanish tapa served all over Spain. Although my recipe is original, it is authentic as I have constantly revised it duplicating the flavors and consistency I have had in the best tapas bars. This can be made in any oven proof dish, I recommend a "cazuela" (terra cotta dish). Although difficult to find, it can be purchased online through "www.tienda.com".

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil
12 medium mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 lemon, juiced
salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

Place the mushrooms in the oven proof ceramic dish, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter and at least 1 inch high.
Add garlic slices and cover with oil.
Pour lemon juice over the mushrooms.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
If the dish can be used on the stove burner, heat on top of stove over medium high heat for about 6 minutes until the oil is bubbly and the mushrooms are cooked.
If dish can not be used directly on the burner, place under the broiler in the oven and broil until the oil is bubbly and the mushrooms are cooked (about 6 minutes after the oil starts to bubble) Serve with crispy french bread for dipping in the heated garlic oil.

Tips:

Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many mushrooms to the pan, they will not cook evenly and will release too much liquid.
Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help them to brown and caramelize without burning.
Add the garlic and parsley towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from burning and will allow their flavors to shine through.
Serve the mushrooms immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Ajillo mushrooms are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a main course. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
