Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, or button)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 60 milliliters dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Slice larger mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces, leaving smaller ones whole for variety.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow the mushrooms to caramelize. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine, if using. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or use as a topping for pasta, risotto, or grilled meats.
