How to serve garlic mushrooms?
I make this as a side to any meat and I don’t know why but we particularly like this as a side to beef, a perfect combo.
Mushrooms, oh mushrooms, I can eat mushrooms all day long, every day. They are so good and versatile. The beauty is that they are available all year round so I am never short of fungi, and always have plenty in my fridge.
I know I like them with beef but truthfully they can be a side dish and can get combined with almost anything needless to say they can comfortably be a dish on their own. My kids really love those with a lovely homemade polenta - so nice, they really know what and how to eat those two.
These garlic-infused mushrooms make a fab side to a BBQ!
FAQs
I chose to cook the chestnut or cremini type of mushrooms, I like them more than the white cup ones, they taste better, and they are nuttier.
I sometimes go for oyster mushrooms which I adore.
portobello mushrooms
king oyster mushrooms
Morel mushrooms - a specialty that I grew up eating - are simply unbelievable.
Use whole button mushrooms
I also love adding some meat to it with a dash of cream and onion - see this creamy chicken and mushrooms for a super delicious recipe, something for meatarians too, truly yummy or not try this vegan mushrooms and polenta.

My hubby loves mushroom and garlic and this would be a really great side dish for me to make when I'm not cooking for the children as well. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get them to eat mushrooms yet!

Hey Corina, thank you so much. I am sure you will love this dish. My son also hated mushrooms and courgettes ever since day one but a few years ago when he able enough to help in the litchen I have asked him to chop those so that we could use them in cooking. Guess what? He is eating them ever since. Might be something you coud try too 😉
