Butifarra with Garlic Mushrooms

This butifarra with garlic mushrooms is an easy recipe to get dinner sorted in 25 minutes, with just a few ingredients and plenty of garlic and parsley flavor. The pairing of juicy butifarra sausage with tender mushrooms and olive oil is one of those combinations that practically begs for some crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

I use canned mushrooms here for convenience, but you can easily swap in fresh ones if you have them on hand. To get the best result, drain the mushrooms well and keep a close eye on the garlic so it doesn't burn—that way you get all the aroma without any bitterness. If you're looking for a simple sausage and mushroom skillet for an easy weeknight meal, this garlic version hits the spot; these quantities serve two.

If you love this combination, I also recommend my Butifarra and Roquefort Meatballs and my Veal with Creamy Cheese and Mushroom Sauce.

Tips and tricks

Tips and tricks for making butifarra with garlic mushrooms

You can use fresh mushrooms instead of canned.

Instead of white wine, you can use hard cider or beef/vegetable broth if you prefer not to use alcohol.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use fresh mushrooms instead of canned?

Yes, absolutely. Clean them, slice them up, and sauté them until they release their liquid and start to brown; they just need a little more cooking time than canned ones.

How can I make this without white wine?

Simply replace the half glass of white wine with the same amount of beef or vegetable broth. You can also use hard cider if you don't mind the alcohol.

How long will leftovers keep in the fridge?

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking, and enjoy within 3-4 days. Reheat only the portion you're going to eat until it's piping hot all the way through.
