Hongos al ajillo

Hongos al ajillo is a traditional mushroom-based dish that's especially popular in Oaxaca. There are many variations, but the dish is usually prepared with a combination of assorted sliced mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, white wine, lime juice, salt, and hot chili peppers.


The garlic is sautéed in olive oil until golden and fragrant. Sliced chili peppers are then added to the pan, followed by the white wine and seasonings. The combination is cooked until the alcohol evaporates. The mushrooms are added near the end of cooking, and the dish is then simply seasoned with lime juice and served while still hot.


Hongos al ajillo can be enjoyed on its own or served as an accompaniment to other dishes.
