Delicious sautéed mushrooms with garlic that are the perfect packed with flavour side dish for a variety of main dishes.
One thing that can be hard to accomplish when trying to cook lower calories is tasty sautéed food. Spray oils don't always cut it, as the food tends to be dry unless you are using a good amount of spraying. I have an awesome tip for getting that lovely sauté flavour without the need for lots of oil. The key is broth or stock and the finished result is almost like they have been cooked in heaps of butter.

Ingredients Notes
To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- Mushrooms: Use your favourite variety, such as white, cremini (chestnut) or a mix of mushrooms. Slice them evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- Garlic: Adds plenty of savoury flavour. Use one clove for a milder garlic taste or two if you prefer a stronger flavour.
- Olive Oil Spray: A light spray helps soften the garlic and start the cooking process without the need for lots of oil or butter.
- Chicken or Vegetable Stock: Used to sauté the mushrooms instead of adding extra oil or butter, keeping them light while adding plenty of savoury flavour. Use vegetable stock to keep the recipe vegetarian.
- Fresh Italian Parsley: Stirred through at the end for a burst of fresh flavour and colour.
- Salt and Black Pepper: Season to taste to bring out the natural earthy flavour of the mushrooms.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

How to Sauté Vegetables with Stock
Sautéing vegetables with stock instead of lots of oil or butter is an easy way to add plenty of flavour while keeping your dishes lighter. The key is to cook the vegetables over a medium-high heat, adding just a splash of stock at a time. As each addition cooks away, add a little more and repeat the process until the vegetables are tender and beautifully golden.
The trick is not to rush it. Allowing the stock to evaporate between additions gives the vegetables time to caramelise and develop a rich colour and deeper flavour, rather than simply steaming. It's a similar technique to cooking a risotto and works wonderfully with all kinds of vegetables, including onions, mushrooms, celery, carrots, cabbage, kale, courgettes (zucchini), green beans and peppers.
Serving Suggestions
These sautéed mushrooms are incredibly versatile and make a delicious addition to all kinds of meals.

- Spoon over grilled steak, chicken, pork chops or lamb.
- Serve alongside roast chicken, turkey or beef.

- Spoon over baked potatoes or mashed potatoes.
- Serve with grilled salmon or white fish.
- Add to grain bowls with rice, quinoa or couscous.
- Enjoy as a simple side dish with almost any main meal.
