Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under running water as mushrooms absorb moisture easily. Remove the stems if desired and slice the mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to shimmer, then add the butter and let it melt fully.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, sauté the mushrooms in batches.
Cook the mushrooms undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to allow them to caramelize on one side. Stir them gently and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine, and taste to adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the mushrooms from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately as a side dish or topping.
