Crispy sautéed mushrooms, salty roasted pistachios, and fresh basil make this an easy and delicious recipe addition to any meal.
Eat sautéed button mushrooms with pistachios as a side dish or serve over chicken, steak, or grains.
Mushrooms not browning or crisping up? Try not moving them in the pan too much. They need time to sear and make a crust.
Chopping nuts can be difficult because they want to "slip away". Place in a sealed ziploc bag with no air and hit the bag/nuts with the back of a large spoon. Be gentle (the bag will break if you hit too hard) but also get some aggression out!

Ingredients
- 1lb button mushrooms (or baby bella), quartered
- ⅓ cup pistachios, shelled, roasted, & chopped
- ¼ cup basil, sliced
- 1 ½ Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper or aleppo red pepper
Instructions
- Bring a pan to medium high heat. No need to add any fat/oil/butter. Throw the quartered mushrooms straight into the hot pan and fry them as is. Mushrooms let go of a lot of liquid so it will be fine. You may have to do this in two different batches as you want to try and crisp up the mushrooms on the outside and not steam them.
- Add ¼ teaspoon sea salt and a pinch of black pepper. Cook for ~2-3 minutes uncovered, flip and cook ~2-3 minutes or until browned. Add balsamic vinegar to the pan. The pan may "hiss". Continue cooking for an additional minute.
- Toss cooked mushroom with chopped pistachios. Add sea salt to taste and top with sliced basil. Happy Eating! Beckie
