Ingredients
- Oyster Mushrooms — More specifically, the pearl oyster mushroom variety. These are the most commonly available oyster mushrooms in the market.
- Olive Oil
- Onion
- Garlic Clove
- Salt — Regular table salt will do, but you can enhance the side dish with Himalayan pink salt or Fleur de Sel French salt.
- Black Pepper — I recommend freshly crushed black pepper for the best flavor experience, as this is a lightly seasoned mushroom dish.
- White Wine — Dry white wine of your choice. It should at least have some basic flavors. A Pinot Gris or Riesling makes for a good base. If you want it sweeter, get a Moscato.
- Parsley — Italian parsley or curley parsley fresh.

Tips for cleaning your Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster mushrooms can be full of mud, hay, and insects hiding between the fine gills.
Some people will suggest wiping the mushrooms with wet paper towels, brushing them or even peeling your oyster mushrooms.
You don't need to do that!
Instead, this is what you do:
- Take apart the connected mushrooms so that you are left with single pieces.
- Keep them in a colander and just quickly rinse them with clear water. Don't soak them because water can get collected in the gills.
- Keep a clean dishcloth ready and place the wet mushrooms onto it. Tap dry each mushroom carefully to get rid of excess water.
Serving
I frequently make this mushroom side dish when these oyster mushrooms are in season to serve with a meat or fish.
The wine brings out all the mushroom flavors, and this compliments steaks and pan-roasted or baked fish really well.
So, for example, I like my skillet cooked trout with wine deglazed oyster mushrooms.
Think roast pork, roast beef or roast chicken with these cooked oyster mushrooms.
Add to that plain cooked rice and you have a complete meal.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days at most.
Gradually reheat over the stove top in a skillet, in the microwave or in the oven.
These sautéed mushrooms don't freeze well, so I don't recommend that because mushrooms are best prepared and eaten fresh.
Getting Fresh Oyster Mushrooms
You can usually get oyster mushrooms periodically in your local supermarket.
Some regions in this world have designated mushroom seasons.
The Northern Hemisphere has 2 seasons, with a spring mushroom season from March to June and a fall, from August to October.
Oyster mushrooms in general are super common, especially the variety used int his recipe (Pearl oyster mushrooms)
When buying, try to avoid getting large oyster mushrooms.
Not that they are bad, it's just the larger they get, the more bitter they taste (depends on the variety too and growing spot).
Besides, the larger mushrooms tend to get chewier.
Don't use dried oyster mushrooms for this sautéed mushrooms' recipe, it won't work.
Look out for super fresh oyster mushrooms, and some of the freshest and tastiest can be found at your local farmers market as a seasonal special fair.

Good one! This recipe came out great. My customisations included using dry oyster mushrooms that I first soaked in warm water and then cut into slices. I stir fried starting with only about a half teaspoon of olive oil, followed with splashes of the flavorful mushroom soak water to prevent sticking and burning. Thanks to another commenter, I added black garlic. I also used a pinch of black salt and substituted red wine for white. The resulting flavor was deep, complex, and so delicious.
Thanks for sharing Lauren 🙂
