Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g Cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Fresh thyme sprigs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems and slice the mushrooms evenly, about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the butter to melt and the oil to heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan). Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden sear.
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden brown.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and thyme sprigs. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, stirring well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and toss the mushrooms to coat them in the glossy glaze.
Remove the thyme sprigs and discard. Sprinkle the mushrooms with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately.
