Cast Iron Mushrooms Recipes

GARLIC-BUTTER ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel and gently remove and discard stems.
• Drizzle oil into a large cast iron skillet to evenly coat. Place mushrooms into the skillet, cap-side down. Carefully sprinkle garlic into the mushroom cavities, taking care not to sprinkle directly into the skillet. Drizzle mushrooms with melted butter, then season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return to the oven for 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Let cool slightly before serving.

THE BEST SAUTéED MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat a 12-inch cast iron skillet on the stovetop for five minutes over high heat. Meanwhile, wipe any dirt off the mushrooms with a paper towel and, if you like (and your mushrooms are whole), rinse under running water and spin dry. Remove stems from shiitakes and oyster mushrooms and trim a slice of the stem end off the baby bellas. Slice baby bellas and shiitakes about 1/4-inch thick and cut oyster mushrooms into small bite-sized pieces.
• Add butter to pan. When melted and bubbly, add mushrooms and toss to coat. Cook, stirring only occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until well browned in plenty of spots. Stir in salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley if you like.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.

MUSHROOM PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste.
• In a large skillet, brown the chops over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms, and saute for one minute. Pour cream of mushroom soup over chops. Cover skillet, and reduce temperature to medium-low. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes, or until chops are cooked through.
