Sauteed Crimini Mushrooms with Curry Yogurt Dip

January 14, 2015 By Lokness 16 Comments

Sauteed Crimini Mushrooms with Curry Yogurt Dip 1 | The Missing Lokness

We are back home. We had fun in Vegas, but very tiring! 4 days in Vegas for CES required at least 2 days to recover. For the whole weekend, we pretty much sat on the couch, watched TV and played video games. That is our kind of relaxing. 🙂 As we ate and ate tons of good and fatty food during the trip, I know I need to cook some healthier food. While brainstorming, I discovered Chobani #MadeWithChobani project. Probiotics in yogurt help with digestive system, which would be something we totally need. So I have decided to make something with Chobani plain Greek yogurt.

How about some mushrooms and yogurt dip? Mushrooms are one of my favorite food. That earthly flavors just can’t be found in anything else. This dish is simple and healthy. Sauteed and caramelized some crimini mushrooms, then served them with a tangy, flavorful and creamy curry yogurt dip. The rich mushroom flavors paired really well with the yogurt dip. They complimented each other greatly. In fact, the yogurt dip is great with any steamed or slightly sauteed vegetables. I guarantee your vegetables won’t be bland or boring any more. Enjoy!

Sauteed Crimini Mushrooms with Curry Yogurt Dip

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   16 ounces crimini mushrooms (also called baby bella or baby portobello)

–   2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

–   1 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine

–   2 teaspoons garlic (minced)

–   salt

Curry Yogurt Dip:

–   ½ cup Chobani non-fat plain Greek yogurt

–   ½ teaspoon, plus 1/8 teaspoon curry powder

–   ¼ teaspoon garlic (minced)

–   dash of smoked paprika

–   salt

Directions:

  1. For the mushrooms, rub and wipe off any dirt with paper towels. Trim the stems, so the stems line up with the bottom of the mushrooms.
  2. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, curry powder, garlic and paprika. Stir to combine. Season with salt to your own taste. Set aside.
  3. In a large pan over high heat, add the extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mushroom with the stem side down. Do not move them around. Cook until the bottom is caramelized, about 3 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook until caramelized, about 3 – 4 more minutes. Add butter and garlic. Toss the mushroom around until covered with butter. Season with salt. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately with the curry yogurt dip.

Tips:

  1. Crimini mushrooms have a lot more flavors than button mushrooms, so do not substitute.
  2. Add more garlic or curry powder depends on your liking.

    I hear you – after traveling (particularly to places like Vegas with such amazing food), it’s good to come home, cook, and eat a little leaner. I love using yogurt in place of sour cream and such these days. Pairing the yogurt with curry is such a great idea! This is a great appetizer/starter/side dish!

    I love mushrooms and the yogurt dipping is a great way to serve them! I love the curry and garlic flavor in the dipping sauce, and I think it will go great with all sorts of roasted veggies. Can’t wait to try it out!

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!

We first tried the sampler, but was most impressed by the galbi ones. We like the pork too, but the jalapeño one was way too spicy for my taste. It actually has half of a jalapeño in it.🔥
