Yes! Its fine to wash mushrooms as its been shown they dont absorb as much water as once thought. Just avoid soaking them in water. If youre still hesitant, you can wipe off any dirt with a damp paper towel.

Mushrooms contain a lot of moisture and when cooked, they release a lot of their liquid. To prevent them from getting soggy, this recipe uses the twice cooked method. First, dry sauteing the mushrooms gets them to release their liquid so it can either be drained or reduced. Then, once the mushrooms are no longer soggy, we saute them again with butter, garlic, and any other flavorings to get them golden brown.

Dry saute means to cook an ingredient in a pan with no oil, butter, or water. Dry sauteing mushrooms is a wonderful way to intensify their flavor and texture. Simply add the mushrooms to a pan heated over medium high heat and dont add any oil, butter, or water.

The first round of cooking mushrooms removes any excess liquid from the mushrooms. This liquid can be drained and saved for other recipes or it can be reduced until the liquid is gone. The second round of cooking sears the mushrooms so they get a golden brown color. You can also add additional flavors like garlic and butter during the second saute. Youll end up with a delicious concentrated umami flavor and a wonderfully meaty texture without any sogginess.
