Ingredients

• 500 grams Mushrooms (button, cremini, or wild mushrooms)
• 200 grams Fresh dandelion greens
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and trim the stems. Slice larger mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Rinse the dandelion greens thoroughly to remove any dirt, then roughly chop them into 2-3 inch pieces. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until aromatic and softened.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and begin to brown.

Step 6

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, thyme, and a squeeze of lemon juice, then stir to combine.

Step 7

Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter.

Step 8

Add the chopped dandelion greens to the pan, stirring to coat them in the oil and butter mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly wilted but still vibrant green.

Step 9

Mix the mushrooms and dandelion greens together and cook for another 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if using, before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish, or over crusty bread for a light appetizer.
