Garlic Butter Mushrooms and Onions with White Wine
These Garlic butter mushrooms are the perfect vegetarian side dish to share. Make a double batch because they’re so good. Our skillet garlic mushrooms is a reader favorite!
Mushroom are such a polarizing vegetable. Folks either love ’em or hate ’em and it’s a passionate love and hate response. We have friends that are obsessed with our garlic mushroom recipe and others that shy politely away from it. It’s totally fine to be a hater cause we still love ya. We all have certain foods we dislike, but mushrooms definitely aren’t one of them. We’re always on the search for new ways to get our mushroom-hating eaters to at least try one bite. And if they like it, we’ve succeeded!
Video: Garlic Butter Mushrooms Recipe
Our garlic mushroom recipe cooked in luscious garlic butter with caramelized onions is a step in the right direction. Add a splash of white wine to that and we’re happy! When the mushrooms and onions are caramelized together, the mushrooms are loaded with flavor. Cooking the mushrooms to a nice caramelization keeps them from having that “rubbery” texture and much more delicious with all the garlic and crusty tidbits from the pan. It’s not a pretty dish. The brown-on-brown isn’t always the best color combination for food. But the flavor from the wine, garlic, butter and lemon is outstanding and takes the focus back to the palate. Pair it with a steak, pork chop or chicken breast. Pour yourself a nice glass of wine. It’s a simply awesome dinner that could possibly get a mushroom hater into a lover. It’s always worth a try!
enjoy,

Can I add one red pepper to this recipe?
Hi bob, sure you can add red pepper. It would add nice texture and flavor to the mushrooms. Thanks for asking!
Excellent, restaurant quality! We’ll definitely make again! Thank you.
Thank you Nora!
Well, I am definitely a mushroom lover and I want to eat this ASAP.
Yummy mushroom recipe. I used chopped portabella mushrooms and turned out fantastic.
Delicious! I served over egg noodles to make it a meal. Thank you for the recipe.
Egg noodles sound delicious! thanks for sharing Becky and glad you enjoyed it.
We made this tonight and it was absolutely OUTSTANDING! It’s definitely a keeper for us, now. We served it over fettuccine and honestly, it’s restaurant quality! Something we’d happily make when guests come for dinner. So delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Thanks so much Kai! Fettucine with the mushrooms and onions is PERFECT. Thanks for sharing. xo
Turned out sooo good!
That’s awesome! And thanks for sharing Gauri.
I made this recipe and it tastes AMAZING. I added some broccoli to it and served it with roasted chicken. Perfect! How could I find the nutritional information? I didn’t see it here.
Yay! that’s awesome Gladys and the addition of broccoli sounds fantastic. We’re working on getting this automatic nutritional feature on all our recipes. Hopefully in a few weeks we’ll have all that info for you. Thanks!
This recepie looks amazing can’t wait to try it. What filler goes well with this recipe?
Hi Mina, it’s great as a side dish to meats or on top of rice, pasta, quinoa or couscous. Enjoy!
Those mushrooms in the picture are small portabella type mushrooms cremini, I think. ย These have a lot more flavor than white button mushrooms. ย Shiitakes are even better. ย This slow cooking recipe works so well because mushrooms never get mushy and keep absorbing flavor. ย Thanks for the great recipe
What kind of wine do you reccomend using?
Hi Erin,
The wine choice is mostly a personal preference thing. For the most part we like a nice crisp white that has been aged in stainless to use in the recipe (sauvignon blanc, many French Chardonnays, Chenin blanc, etc.) But you nearly anything you enjoy drinking will do, every wine just gives the dish a little of its own character. Don’t waste the good stuff on the recipe as their nuances will get lost, but otherwise see what you like and how it matches up with the mushrooms. Enjoy!
This dish is packed with flavor. I love cooking with garlic butter. YUMMM!
My kids hate mushrooms but then they tried this dish and now they eat it all up! Such a great recipe.
Love how it turned out even without the white wine! We used chicken stock instead and the flavors were so good.ย
We love it with stock too! It’s a nice rich flavor.
My husband love this with the onions in it. What a great idea and it adds so much more texture to our favorite mushrooms. Thanks for a great recipe!ย
Glad your husband loved it! Onions and mushrooms go so good together!
We love mushrooms! The garlic butter is what makes this extra good.ย
Garlic butter makes many things taste better. ๐
