Recipe for Mushroom pan from the hot air fryer

Peel the onion and cut it into fine cubes. Peel the garlic cloves and chop them into very fine pieces. Place the olive oil and butter in a bowl suitable for the air fryer. This should be as flat as possible and large enough so that the mushrooms can lie in a thin layer.

Set the air fryer to 180 degrees and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. Place the bowl of prepared mushrooms in the deep fryer and let the mixture cook for about 10-12 minutes. Halfway through cooking, you should give the mushrooms a stir to ensure they brown and cook evenly.
At the end of the cooking time, you can refine the mushrooms with a dash of balsamic or white wine vinegar if you like. Sprinkle fresh herbs such as parsley or chives on top and stir everything gently again.
Serve the finished mushroom pan while still hot. For a special touch, you can top the mushrooms with a spoonful of crème fraîche or sour cream. This small garnish gives the mushroom pan a wonderful creaminess.
Tips for the perfect mushroom pan like from the Christmas market
Choice of mushrooms: Fresh brown mushrooms have a more intense flavor than white mushrooms, but both are equally suitable.
Adjust temperature and time: Every air fryer is slightly different. If your mushroom pan isn’t crispy enough after 12 minutes, simply leave it in the deep fryer for 2-3 minutes longer.
Variations: Feel free to add other spices – like thyme or rosemary for a Mediterranean touch or a little soy sauce for additional umami flavor.
Alternatives to vinegar: Instead of vinegar, you can also use lemon juice or a little white wine to give the mushrooms a fresh, acidic note. ■
