Cajun mushrooms are a flavorful and aromatic dish that can serve as a delightful side or a savory topping for various meals. This simple recipe combines the earthy taste of mushrooms with the bold and spicy flavors of Cajun seasoning, making it a perfect dish for those who love a bit of heat in their cuisine.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Prep Work:
- Wash the mushrooms thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel and slice them into even pieces.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
2. Heating the Pan:
- Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Allow the oil to heat up but not smoke.
3. Cooking the Garlic:
- Add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté it for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
4. Adding the Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir well to coat them in the garlic and oil mixture.
- Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should become tender and start to brown.
5. Seasoning:
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder over the mushrooms.
- Stir to ensure that the mushrooms are evenly coated with the spices.
6. Final Cooking:
- Continue to cook the mushrooms for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to blend well and the mushrooms to reach your desired level of tenderness.
7. Serving:
- Once the mushrooms are cooked and well-seasoned, remove the pan from heat.
- Serve the Cajun mushrooms hot as a flavorful side dish, a topping for salads, or a filling for sandwiches or wraps.

Tips:

- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. You can use any variety of mushrooms, but button or cremini mushrooms work particularly well for this recipe.

- Control the spice level by adjusting the amount of chili powder to your preference. You can also add a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.

- For a richer flavor, you can sauté the mushrooms in a mix of olive oil and a small amount of butter.

- Make sure the garlic is finely minced to ensure it distributes evenly and infuses the dish with its flavor.

- Serve the Cajun mushrooms immediately after cooking for the best taste and texture.
