Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Slice them into thick slices (about 0.5 cm thick) to maintain their texture during cooking.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, ensuring they're spread out evenly for optimal browning. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until they begin to brown on one side. Stir occasionally to evenly cook all sides.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir it in with the mushrooms, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms. Stir well to combine all ingredients and let cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the mushrooms and give a final stir. Cook for another minute to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the sugar-free sauteed mushrooms hot as a side dish or as a topping for toast or grilled proteins.
