Champiñones a la Mexicana
4
Champiñones a la mexicana is a simple and tasty Mexican dish made with mushrooms, tomatoes, onion, and chile. It’s juicy, full of flavor, and perfect for scooping up with warm tortillas, serving over rice, or using as a filling for quesadillas.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb champignon mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
- 3 medium tomatoes (diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- jalapeños or serrano peppers (chopped, as much as you want)
- small bunch of parsley
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or the oil you prefer)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat up the olive oil over medium heat in a pan.
- Add onions and sautée for 2 minutes, then add chili peppers and sautée one more minute.
- Stir in garlic and allow to cook until fragrant.
- Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook while stirring constantly until tomatoes release their juices.
- Mix in the mushrooms and cover the pan.
- Set the heat over medium-low and cook for about 8 minutes, mixing from time to time until mushrooms are tender.
- Uncover the pan and allow the mixture to cook for an extra minute or until most of the juices are gone (read notes).
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste, remove the pan from the heat.
- Mix in chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- I like the mixture to be a little bit juicy, so when you uncover the pan make sure you cook until they have the right consistency to you. If you want them a little bit drier then allow cooking longer.
- The ingredients listed are enough for 4 servings as sides. Or for 2 large servings as a main meal.
- Adjust the heat level to your liking by using more or fewer chiles.
- Keep the seasoning light so the earthy flavor of the mushrooms really shines.
- This recipe doubles beautifully, perfect for making ahead and enjoying during a busy week.
