🕒 Prep Time: 10 min

🍳 Cook Time: 10 min
🍰 Yields: 2–3 servings

Ingredients

  • 500 g small champignon mushrooms
  • 2–3 pinches dried oregano
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 heaping pinch chili powder (or hot paprika)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp dry sherry (Tio Pepe Fino recommended)
  • A few sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
  • 7 tbsp high-quality olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare Mushrooms and Garlic Paste

  • Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Trim stems to about ½ cm length.
  • Crush garlic cloves with a pinch of salt in a mortar until a smooth paste forms.
  • Add sweet paprika, chili powder, and 2 tbsp water to the garlic paste and mix thoroughly.
  • Finely chop parsley and set aside.

2. Sauté Mushrooms

  • Heat olive oil in a wide pan over high heat until sizzling.
  • Add mushrooms in a single layer (avoid overcrowding; a 25 cm diameter pan fits 500 g nicely).
  • Sauté mushrooms, shaking the pan or stirring gently, until golden in spots, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle oregano (crush between fingers to release aroma) and salt to taste.

3. Add Sauce Ingredients

  • Pour garlic paprika paste over the mushrooms and stir quickly.
  • Add lemon juice and sherry, letting the mixture simmer for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy.

4. Finish and Serve

  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  • Serve warm or cold with rustic bread for dipping. Ideal as an appetizer or side dish.

💡 Tips

  • Keep heat high throughout cooking to achieve a beautiful sear.
  • Use quality olive oil and sherry for authentic flavor.
  • Crushed oregano releases more intense aroma than whole leaves.
  • Rustic bread is essential to enjoy every drop of the delicious sauce.

🎉 Perfect For

  • Spanish tapas nights
  • Flavorful vegetarian appetizers
  • Light side dishes with bold flavor
