Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 small Shallots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Slice them into even pieces if they are large, or leave them whole if they are small.
Peel and finely mince the shallots and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Swirl to combine with the oil.
Add the shallots to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and toss to coat them in the oil and butter mixture.
Scatter the thyme sprigs over the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Remove the thyme sprigs and discard them. Taste the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or a topping for steak, chicken, or pasta.
