Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 10 Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and slice them in halves or quarters, depending on size.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them tightly into a cylinder, and slice them into thin strips (chiffonade). Reserve for garnishing.
Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and combine with the oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the prepared mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out to ensure even cooking. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on medium-high heat to achieve a golden brown color on one side.
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their liquid.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, and drizzle the lemon juice over the top. Stir well to coat evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the sliced basil leaves over the mushrooms.
Transfer the garlic mushrooms to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish or topping for toast or pasta.
