Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Start by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Trim the ends and slice them evenly to about 0.5 cm thick.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring there's sufficient room for them to brown. If necessary, cook in batches.
Let the mushrooms cook, untouched, for about 4-5 minutes until they start to brown on the bottom.
Stir the mushrooms and season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Continue to saute for another 5 minutes until they are evenly browned and tender.
Lower the heat and add the minced garlic, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, but be cautious not to burn it.
Turn off the heat and add fresh lemon juice to the pan, gently mixing it with the mushrooms to deglaze the pan slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the mushrooms warm as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite Paleo meal.
