Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse briefly under cold water and pat dry. Trim the ends of the stems if necessary.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to foam.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until they start to brown and release their juices.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms, then pour in the chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb some of the broth.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the mushrooms.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and swirl the pan gently to melt the butter into the sauce, creating a shiny, smooth finish.
Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve the braised mushrooms warm.
