Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams wild mushrooms (e.g., chanterelles, cremini, or porcini)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 small hot chili peppers (e.g., Thai chilis or serranos), finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Clean the wild mushrooms by brushing off dirt or debris with a damp paper towel. Avoid washing them directly in water as it can make them soggy. Slice large mushrooms into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic and chopped hot chili peppers to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions, garlic, and chilis.
Sprinkle the thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well. Cook the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown. If the skillet becomes too dry, add 1 tablespoon of butter or a drizzle of olive oil.
Once the mushrooms are tender and golden, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Serve the buttered wild mushrooms warm as a side dish or spooned over grilled bread, pasta, or rice for a hearty meal.
