It's the ultimate side dish for mushroom lovers and an elegant topping for any main course!
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off dirt. Trim the ends of the stems and slice the mushrooms into thick slices (about 0.5 cm).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer to the skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic and thyme leaves. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Deglaze the pan by pouring the dry sherry into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sherry cook down for 2–3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the liquid to slightly thicken.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until melted, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or use as a topping for steak, chicken, or crusty bread.
