Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing away any dirt with a soft brush. Avoid rinsing them under water, as mushrooms absorb moisture easily.
Slice the mushrooms evenly, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. If necessary, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can cause steaming rather than sauteing.
Allow the mushrooms to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes. This will help them develop a nice golden brown color.
Stir the mushrooms and add the chopped garlic, continuing to saute for another 3 minutes or until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the mushrooms and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, before serving warm.
