Ingredients

1 pound white button mushrooms
½ cup salted butter ½ cup
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
minced fresh parsley optional

Instructions

Preheat your pellet smoker to 350 degrees F according to manufacturer's directions.
Place your mushrooms in an oven safe 12-inch skillet, we used a cast iron skillet. Place the skillet on the grate of the preheated smoker.
Let them smoke for 10 minutes.
Then slice your butter into chunks and add it to the skillet along with the garlic, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat on smoker to 250 degrees F.
Smoke for another 20 minutes or until the mushrooms turn a dark color. Stir a few times to mix mushrooms with garlic butter.
Garnish with minced parsley, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

What other kinds of mushrooms can you use for this recipe?

Pretty much any kind! Shiitakes, chanterelles, porcini, oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms (we love these!) baby bellas, cremini… these are a few! If the mushrooms are large, cut them into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly. Depending on the size of the mushrooms you use, they may need more or less cooking time. So just keep an eye on them.

Should you remove the mushroom stems?

For button mushrooms, you don’t need to because they are tender. Bigger mushrooms may have woodier or tougher stems, so you may want to remove them.

Should you remove the gills?

For small mushrooms, no. But, if you use large mushrooms you can scrape the gills out of the mushroom cap with a spoon before cutting them into smaller pieces.

What else can you add to this recipe?

If you want to dress them up, try squeezing some fresh lemon juice over the top along with a couple of sprinkles of grated Parmesan cheese!
