Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 2 cups mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water or vegetable broth (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds about 1/8-inch thick.
Step 2
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or brush, then slice them into even-sized pieces.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften slightly.
Step 6
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking for 5-6 minutes. Stir frequently to allow the mushrooms to release their moisture and brown lightly.
Step 7
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Step 8
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme or parsley. Stir to combine.
Step 9
If the carrots are not yet fully tender, add 1/4 cup of water or vegetable broth to the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the carrots are cooked to your desired texture.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the heat and give the sauté a final stir. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 11
Transfer the carrots and mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired. Serve warm.
