Mushroom Scampi

About recipe

In America, we typically think of shrimp when it comes to “scampi,” which is a way to prepare shrimp or prawns by sautéing in lots of garlic and butter. The term actually refers to a type of shellfish found in Italy. Here is a version of this flavorful dish that is hearty but also vegetarian (or vegan, if you omit the butter).

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1/2 cup diced red onion or shallot
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, sliced or quartered
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup low-sodium or unsalted vegetable stock, or water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Black pepper
1/2 cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped
3-4 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

Preparation

Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter or heat the oil. Then add the red onion, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and toss until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the vegetable stock or water, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and half the parsley. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broth has reduced by half and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and season with a pinch of salt or black pepper, if needed. Top with remaining parsley.
Serve over whole-wheat pasta, another whole grain, or toasted whole-grain bread.
