Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 5 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons White wine (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems and cut larger mushrooms in half for even cooking, leaving smaller ones whole.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt completely and become slightly foamy.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning. Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and brown further.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with the thyme sprigs. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
If using white wine, deglaze the skillet by pouring it in and stirring to loosen any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until mostly evaporated.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for a glossy finish.
Remove the skillet from the heat, discard the thyme sprigs, and garnish the mushrooms with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite main course.
