Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium (sliced) yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 250 grams (sliced) cremini mushrooms
- 300 grams frozen sweet peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to foam.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until it becomes soft and lightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the frozen sweet peas to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the peas are heated through.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Stir to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice for a pop of freshness.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
