Sauteed Wild Mushrooms and Peas
Earthy shiitake and delicate oyster mushrooms meet sweet green peas in this deeply savory side dish. Mixing everyday white mushrooms with wild varieties builds complex flavor while keeping things budget-friendly. A splash of soy sauce and a final pat of butter create a glossy, umami-packed glaze that coats the vegetables perfectly. You'll love spooning this over creamy polenta or serving it alongside roasted meats.
Equipment
- Skillet
- Stovetop
Ingredients
- 2 packages (10 ounces each) sliced white mushrooms
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps cut into ½-inch-thick slices
- 8 ounces oyster mushrooms, tough ends trimmed and mushrooms separated into lobes
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 4 green onions
- 1 package (16 ounces) frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce
- teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1Combine the white mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, water, and 1 tablespoon of butter in a 12-inch skillet. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- 2Remove the cover and continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned. Don't rush this step; letting the water evaporate completely helps the mushrooms get a proper sear.
- 3Finely chop the white and pale green sections of the green onions, and thinly slice the dark green tops to set aside. Stir the chopped pale onions and the frozen peas into the skillet.
- 4Cook the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are hot and the liquid returns to a boil. Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- 5Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until it melts completely. Take the pan off the heat, mix in the reserved dark green onion tops, and transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl.
Notes
- Make ahead: Clean and saute the mushrooms a day ahead. Store them covered in the fridge, then rewarm in a skillet over medium heat before adding the green onions and peas.
