Garlic Butter Mushrooms and Hummus with Garlic Sea Salt

These garlic butter mushrooms with hummus are a simple, savory appetizer made with mushrooms, butter, fresh parsley, and garlic sea salt. The mushrooms cook in a hot pan until tender and browned, then finish with butter and garlic sea salt before being spooned over creamy hummus. The result is warm, rich, and deeply savory, with the hummus acting like a smooth base for the buttery mushrooms. Serve it with pita, crackers, toasted bread, vegetables, or as part of a small appetizer spread.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp of oil

6 oz of mushrooms

1 tsp of garlic sea salt

1 oz of butter

Fresh parsley

Hummus 

Why Garlic Sea Salt Works in These Garlic Butter Mushrooms

Garlic sea salt works well with mushrooms because it reinforces their savory, earthy flavor while seasoning them evenly. Adding it near the end with butter helps the garlic flavor stay clear and keeps the mushrooms from becoming too salty as they cook down. It also connects the warm mushrooms to the creamy hummus without needing a separate garlic sauce.

Instructions:

In a hot pan, add oil and start by cooking the mushrooms

After about 7-8 minutes, often stirring, season with garlic sea salt and add in the butter

Lower the heat and cook for another minute

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and take them off the heat

Serve over hummus
