Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 10 Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and slice them in halves or quarters, depending on size.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them tightly into a cylinder, and slice them into thin strips (chiffonade). Reserve for garnishing.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and combine with the oil.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the prepared mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out to ensure even cooking. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on medium-high heat to achieve a golden brown color on one side.

Step 7

Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their liquid.

Step 8

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, and drizzle the lemon juice over the top. Stir well to coat evenly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the sliced basil leaves over the mushrooms.

Step 10

Transfer the garlic mushrooms to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish or topping for toast or pasta.
