Champiñones al Ajillo, also known as Garlic Mushrooms, is a popular Spanish tapa dish that consists of mushrooms sautéed in olive oil with garlic and sometimes chili peppers. The dish is typically served as an appetizer or as part of a larger meal.
To prepare champiñones al ajillo, the mushrooms are first cleaned and sliced, and then cooked in a pan with a generous amount of olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Some recipes also call for the addition of white wine, parsley, or lemon juice to enhance the flavor of the dish.
The end result is a flavorful and aromatic dish with tender and juicy mushrooms that have absorbed the garlicky and slightly spicy oil. Champiñones al ajillo is often served with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. It is a simple yet satisfying dish that is perfect for sharing with friends and family.
