Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt with a damp paper towel or using a mushroom brush; do not rinse them under running water to avoid sogginess.
Place the cleaned mushrooms in the bottom of the crock pot.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, and set them aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave, then pour it evenly over the mushrooms in the crock pot.
Add the soy sauce, minced garlic, and fresh thyme sprigs over the mushrooms.
Sprinkle ground black pepper, and add salt if desired (optional, as the soy sauce already provides a salty flavor).
Stir gently to coat the mushrooms evenly with the sauce ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with the lid, and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices.
Stir the mushrooms once halfway through the cooking process to ensure even coverage of the flavors.
Once done, remove the thyme sprigs, stir the mushrooms, and serve warm as a side dish or topping.
