Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 240 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the stems, and cut any large mushrooms in half to ensure even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown and release their moisture.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Add the fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it braise for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the lid, and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
