Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Fresh thyme (or dried thyme)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Cut the mushrooms into halves or quarters if they are large; leave smaller mushrooms whole.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Stir to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms. Stir well, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly seasoned.
Cook the mushrooms for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they brown properly.
Once the mushrooms are golden and tender, stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Taste the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the Mello Mushrooms hot as a side dish, or use them as a topping for toast, pasta, or protein dishes.
