Ingredients

  

For the Lobster Mushroom Dish :

• 1 pound fresh lobster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
• 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (omit for vegan version)
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

For Serving (Optional) :

• Crusty bread or pasta

Instructions

 

Prepare the Mushrooms :

• Clean the lobster mushrooms thoroughly by brushing off dirt or debris. Avoid washing with water to prevent sogginess. Slice into bite-sized pieces.

Sauté the Base :

• Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and onion, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Cook the Mushrooms :

• Add the sliced lobster mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
• Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme.

Deglaze and Simmer :

• Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
• Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese (if using). Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Serve :

• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

• Ensure lobster mushrooms are fresh and firm; avoid any with soft or mushy spots.
• For a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan butter and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
