Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water, as mushrooms absorb moisture quickly.
Slice the mushrooms evenly, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the mushrooms undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes, allowing them to brown on one side.
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until they're golden brown and tender. Reduce the heat slightly if they start to burn.
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or use as a topping for steak, pasta, rice, or toasted bread.
