Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 250 milliliters Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and trim the ends. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to foam.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir to coat them in the oil and butter. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown.
Add the fresh thyme sprigs to the mushrooms. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the mushrooms are partially submerged.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the mushrooms braise for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and the mushrooms are tender.
Discard the thyme sprigs. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms and give it a gentle stir.
Serve the braised mushrooms hot as a side dish or a topping for low-carb entrees.
