Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. If the mushrooms are large, slice them in half or quarters; small ones can be left whole.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh chives.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the butter and oil mixture, then spread them out into an even layer.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and let the mushrooms cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to allow them to brown.
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until tender and golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Lower the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and let the cream simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Stir in the chopped chives and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or spooned over crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
