Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms (or white button mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 pinch Red chili flakes (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems and slice the mushrooms into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown. The mushrooms will release their juices initially, but these will cook off as they brown.
Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using), and stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley and thyme over the mushrooms and toss gently to evenly coat them with the herbs.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Allow the heat of the mushrooms to melt the cheese slightly.
Transfer the Italian mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with more parsley, if desired, before serving warm.
