Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby bella mushrooms (or white button mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt with a mushroom brush. Avoid rinsing them under water as they can become waterlogged. Slice the mushrooms into thick slices, about 1/4-inch wide.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter, letting them melt and combine.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, spreading them out in an even layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. This step helps them develop a golden-brown color.
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the water released by the mushrooms has evaporated.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add the soy sauce to the pan and stir to coat the mushrooms evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or use as a topping for steak, pasta, roasted vegetables, or even as a savory toast topping.
