Ingredients

  • 1 lb cremini or baby bella mushrooms, halved or thickly sliced
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat 1 lb halved or thickly sliced cremini or baby bella mushrooms completely dry with paper towels. Moisture will prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Heat a large heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and swirl to coat.

  3. 3

    Add mushrooms in a single layer. Do not stir - let them sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until deeply golden on one side.

  4. 4

    Flip the mushrooms, then add 4 cloves thinly sliced garlic. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is golden.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat. Season with 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Drizzle with 2 tsp sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar) and toss briefly.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a serving plate and scatter 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley over the top. Serve with 1 cut into wedges lemon for squeezing.

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Setas a la Plancha?
