Spanish Garlic Mushrooms (Champiñones al Ajillo)

Spanish Garlic Mushrooms (Champiñones al Ajillo) are quartered white button mushrooms sautéed with thinly sliced garlic in olive oil until caramelized and browned. Finished with lemon juice, salt, and chopped parsley, this dish delivers earthy, garlicky flavors with a bright citrus finish. The mushrooms have a nicely seared texture with crispy edges and tender centers, making this a classic Spanish tapa to serve warm with crusty bread.
