Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 large Shallots, finely minced
- 2 Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 500 grams Cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 100 milliliters Dry sherry
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large, wide skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt and sizzle gently.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring often to avoid browning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the butter and oil mixture. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour the sherry into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to meld.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and thyme leaves. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms.
Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Sprinkle the finished dish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish, or spoon it over toasted bread, pasta, or rice for a hearty main.
