Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (or dried thyme)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Slice them into even pieces (about ¼-inch thick).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes to achieve a golden-brown sear on one side.
Stir the mushrooms gently to flip them and allow the other side to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until tender and browned.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves (or dried thyme), salt, and black pepper evenly over the mushrooms. Stir well to coat them in the seasoning.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve hot as a side dish or topping for steak, pasta, or toast.
