Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup of white wine (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms
Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid soaking them in water as mushrooms tend to absorb liquid. Once cleaned, slice the mushrooms into thin, even pieces.
Step 2: Coat the Mushrooms with Flour
In a shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. Toss the mushroom slices in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. This step will help create a crispy texture when cooking.
Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Add the coated mushroom slices to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until they become golden brown. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
Pour the vegetable broth and white wine (if using) into the skillet with the mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the white wine and increase the amount of vegetable broth.
Step 5: Add the Final Touches
Drizzle the lemon juice over the mushroom scaloppini and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Stir gently to incorporate the flavors and cook for another minute.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Your Mushroom Scaloppini is now ready to be savored. Transfer it to a serving dish, and it pairs well with rice, pasta, or a crispy baguette. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Buon Appetito!
