Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, oyster, or chanterelle)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt with a damp paper towel or mushroom brush. Avoid soaking them in water as mushrooms absorb moisture.
Trim the stems if necessary and slice the mushrooms into even pieces, about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they brown properly. Work in batches if needed.
Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until they develop a golden-brown sear, then stir and continue cooking until evenly browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, then stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
