Sautéed mushrooms with onion is a simple pan-cooked dish: sliced mushrooms and onion soften and brown lightly together, often with a little oil. It is common in home cooking across many cuisines, and the exact mushrooms and seasoning vary by region. The mushrooms release moisture as they cook, giving the onions a savoury, rounded flavour.
Serve it hot as a side, pile it onto toast, or add it to a breakfast plate with eggs. It is a relatively light vegetable dish, with 67 calories per 100 g and some fibre; the amount of oil used affects its richness. For a lighter version, cook it in a non-stick pan with just enough oil to coat the vegetables, then finish with herbs or black pepper.
