Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into even slices, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Core and deseed the red bell pepper, then cut it into thin strips about 2 inches long.

Step 3

Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin strips.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley finely; set both aside for later use.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely and the mixture to heat up.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper and onion slices to the skillet. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the sautéed vegetables with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or a topping, and enjoy!
