Perfect for mushroom lovers and a crowd-pleaser for any occasion, this dish makes the most of farm-fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Clean the wild mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt with a damp paper towel or a soft brush. Avoid rinsing them under water as they can become waterlogged. Slice larger mushrooms into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Add the chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow the mushrooms to brown properly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the mushrooms and pour in the white wine, if using. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir well to combine. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the sautéed mushrooms with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or spoon over pasta, toast, or steak for a delicious topping.
