Garlic FTW
Is there ever a time when garlic doesn’t seem like a great idea? Seriously, I really can’t think of a time except for when making sweet things, but why would you use garlic then? We add garlic to many of our dishes, and we really can’t ever get enough. We are those people who are following a recipe, and it lists one clove of garlic, so we use at least two. We just love it.
These garlic and sage brown butter mushrooms are the perfect dish for making extra garlicky, and paired with the sage and brown butter, you really won’t be disappointed.
Brown Butter
Brown ButterBrown butter is the ingredient that magically enhances the rest of the flavors in the dish, and it is also easy to make. You just heat up your butter in a skillet over medium heat until the butter turns a light brown color. That’s it. If you haven’t tried brown butter in any recipes yet, you really must give it a go!

Garlic and Sage Brown Butter Mushrooms (Paleo + Gluten-Free)
Ingredients
- 1 lb button or cremini mushrooms, halved (If you have some small mushrooms, just leave them whole. The goal is to have everything about the same approximate size)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp sage, chopped finely
- 1/4 cup grass-fed butter or ghee
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cut mushrooms, garlic and sage as noted.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter. Cook the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to turn a nice light brown color, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add in the mushrooms and stir to coat with the butter. Then, add in the garlic, sage and lemon juice and mix well. Cook another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are just getting tender.
- Taste and add any salt and pepper or additional lemon juice to flavor as desired. Serve and enjoy.
Really tasty! I was actually looking for a mushroom based sauce, but I liked the simple use of ingredients here, so I gave it a shot and served it with our pasta anyway as a side. Great combination of flavors and even my non-mushroom-loving kids gave it a shot (and mostly liked it 😉 ). I’ll definitely save this recipe and use again! The only thing I might change is starting with a bit less lemon juice (maybe half?), because it overpowered the sage; but you can always start with less and then add more to taste. Thanks for the great recipe!
You’re welcome, glad everyone liked the recipe!
I’ll use this often. Served it over cheese ravioli with vodka sauce…wow! Thanks!
