Champiñones al Ajillo or Garlic Mushrooms in English is a very popular Spanish tapas dish which is sautéed mushrooms with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and chillies. But this dish is not popular only in Spain but as well as Philippines most probably because of their Spanish influence. This is usually served as a side dish paired with simple grilled or fried meat dishes or as a pulutan (finger food) paired with a really cold cerveza (beer).
There are subtle changes with the Spanish ones as we don’t locally produce olive oil but the Americans had introduced butter hence we cook these mushrooms with them, lots of them.

I could eat this whole plate of mushroom tapas myself. I just love the simple flavors of the garlic and butter and pairing with with a cold one is a must. Just shared!
My girl feasted on these when she was studying in Wellington – so cheap, fresh and nice, the ones there. Can hardly get them here…once in a while only perhaps, expensive and they spoil very fast. I guess that is why they would not stock up on these. 🙁
Oh, yes Raymund – a favourite.
I love the garlicky mushrooms! Simple yet very flavorful. 🙂

It would NEVER be cooked with butter in Spain. Extra virgin olive oil ONLY.
