I chose Seafood Mushrooms because they were at my local 99c only Store. They don't show up cheaply very often so I just wanted to enjoy them sauteed in butter. But now that the 99c only Stores are shutting down this may be the last time I can crow about finding small packages of Mushrooms for 99.99 cents!
I used salted butter so seasoning was reduced to black pepper - and even that is optional. But do use plenty of butter, I like a fat slice of about a tablespoon to saute 5.5 ounces of Mushrooms. You can keep the recipe vegetarian and use your favorite tasty vegetable, seed, or nut oils like virgin olive, avocado, coconut, peanut, grapeseed, walnut, etc.
The Seafood Mushrooms I got came in a sealed package and in one large root segment. I split the mushrooms into smaller segments for easier sauteing. You only need to cook them until tender and moist - just a couple of minutes on each side.
Seafood Mushrooms Sauteed in Butter can be served right out of the frying pan, or add them warm to top a fresh green salad. They can also go into your favorite pasta dish.
When you find Mushrooms on sale then give them a quick saute in butter for a decadent dish, and you don't have to wait for that special occasion lobster to get out the butter!

Ingredients
- Fresh Mushrooms - about 5.5 ounces. I cooked with Seafood Mushrooms, but okay to use regular button mushrooms or any favorite you find.
- Butter - about 1 tablespoon. I used salted butter. Okay to add more or less to taste. For a vegetarian recipe use any tasty veggie oil you like.
- Salt and Pepper - optional. I did not season this recipe because of salted butter.
Directions
Prepare mushrooms. If there is dirt then brush or scrape off. Discard dried or old stems from any mushroom.
Slice or break apart mushrooms into bite sizes. You can leave them whole if they are smaller button mushrooms. You can also break apart mushrooms after sauteing.
Over a medium hot pan add butter. When butter is melted add mushrooms.
Depending on the size of the mushrooms you can saute each side for a couple minutes each, until soft and slightly browned. Saute about 3-5 minutes total.
Time will depend on the temperature of the frying pan and the thickness of the mushrooms. A quick saute is what you want - best not to overcook mushrooms.

Thanks, will keep on keeping on...sad to see the 99c only Store shutting down due to being bought out and gutted. Rumors say another buyer may move in, we'll see.
ReplyDeleteBut mainly, I look for deals everywhere, farmer's markets, Mom & Pop grocery stores, Big-box supermarkets (bargain bins & mailer weekly discount listings), etc.
