Clean and slice the mushrooms: Use a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush to gently clean 500 g of mushrooms. Slice them into evenly sized pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the mushrooms: Once the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Stir occasionally to allow them to release their moisture for the first few minutes, around 5-7 minutes, until they are a deep brown color.
Incorporate butter and garlic: Lower the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 minced garlic cloves, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant without burning.
Season the mushrooms: Add 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Finish with parsley: Turn off the heat and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to distribute the parsley evenly.
Serve warm: Transfer the sauteed mushrooms to a serving dish and serve immediately as a side dish or topping.
