Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Mushrooms (button, cremini, or baby bella)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel or cloth. Avoid washing them under water to prevent them from becoming soggy. Slice the mushrooms into even, bite-sized pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Spread them out evenly to ensure they cook properly.
Cook the mushrooms without stirring for 3 minutes to allow them to develop a golden-brown sear.
Stir the mushrooms, adjust the heat to medium, and continue cooking for another 7–8 minutes while stirring occasionally, or until they've released their moisture and are tender.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and thyme (if using) over the mushrooms. Stir to coat evenly and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the sauteed mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
