Ingredients

• 400 grams wild mushrooms (e.g., chanterelles, cremini, or porcini)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 small hot chili peppers (e.g., Thai chilis or serranos), finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the wild mushrooms by brushing off dirt or debris with a damp paper towel. Avoid washing them directly in water as it can make them soggy. Slice large mushrooms into bite-sized pieces if necessary.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped hot chili peppers to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions, garlic, and chilis.

Step 5

Sprinkle the thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well. Cook the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown. If the skillet becomes too dry, add 1 tablespoon of butter or a drizzle of olive oil.

Step 6

Once the mushrooms are tender and golden, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Serve the buttered wild mushrooms warm as a side dish or spooned over grilled bread, pasta, or rice for a hearty meal.
