Pan Fried Honey Oyster Mushrooms

We grew the most beautiful yellow oyster mushrooms using the Mushroom Culture kit I picked up from our local farmer’s market. This delish sticky honey recipe did them the justice they deserve! If you don’t have oyster mushrooms, this recipe would work fine with button mushrooms or other varieties. 

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 350g oyster mushrooms cut into evenly sized pieces
• 3 garlic cloves smashed
• 5 sprigs of thyme
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat.
2. Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer in the pan. Cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until they start to brown.
3. Stir the mushrooms and cook for another 3-5 minutes until browned all over.
4. Add the olive oil, garlic, and thyme to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Add honey and coconut aminos to the skillet. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, spooning the sauce over the mushrooms until they are dark brown and slightly crispy.
5. Remove the thyme springs and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
