How To Prepare Crimini Mushrooms For Cooking Applications
Mushrooms are mostly comprised of water so it’s important to avoid rinsing them under the faucet or the outer texture will become undesirable & slick. Gently remove visible dirt & grit with a paper towel. Slice away the ends using a paring knife, then quarter or thinly cut them. To properly cook crimini mushrooms, high heat & evaporation will result in the most pleasing texture & color.
The Technique
Melt a bit of butter in a small skillet over Medium heat & add 1 {8-ounce} package of cleaned & cut crimini mushrooms. Season them with a smattering of kosher salt & pepper. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally or until all of the liquid has evaporated & the mushrooms are golden brown.
