Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 head medium garlic, minced
  • 2 cups baby potatoes
  • 2 cups champignon mushrooms, fresh or canned
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a small pot. Add enough water to cover them and pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. This will infuse flavor as they cook.
  2. Boil the potatoes: Boil the baby potatoes for 10-15 minutes until they are just cooked. Check doneness by poking one with a toothpick; it should go through easily but the potatoes should not be overcooked.
  3. Slice the potatoes: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and cut them in halves for quicker cooking in the next step.
  4. Sauté garlic: In a pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until tender and fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
  5. Cook potatoes and mushrooms: Add the halved potatoes and champignon mushrooms to the pan. Cook them together until the edges develop a nice brown color, enhancing their flavor and texture.
  6. Add herbs and seasoning: Incorporate the rosemary and basil into the pan along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper as needed, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
  7. Serve: Remove the cooked mixture from the pan and transfer it to a serving dish. Enjoy warm as a side dish to your favorite meat or as an appetizing snack on its own.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the baby potatoes; they should be tender but not falling apart.
  • Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but dried herbs can be used as substitutes.
  • If using canned mushrooms, drain them well before cooking.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste if you prefer a less salty dish.
  • This dish pairs well with chicken, pork, beef, or can be served as a vegetarian appetizer.
