    How to Clean Mushrooms for Cooking

    To clean your mushrooms, start by gently rinsing them with water. Place them in a strainer and run water over them in your sink. Then lay them flat on a kitchen towel and dab them dry with a paper towel (or kitchen towel).

    Let the mushrooms dry completely before cooking with them. It's also recommended to avoid soaking the mushrooms in too much water (don't submerge them or rinse them too heavily) because they will soak up water.

    Tips & Tricks for This Recipe

    What type of mushrooms to use:

    Baby bella, cremini or button are best for this recipe. If you have trouble finding those, you could also use small white mushrooms, pre-sliced mushrooms, or any other small variety of mushroom in your store.

    Don't overcook the mushrooms:

    Be sure to cook the mushrooms over medium heat and stir them frequently. Turning up the heat or not stirring them can cause them to blacken and burn.

    How to Make it dairy-free:

    To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for ghee.
