Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse briefly under cold water and pat dry. Trim the ends of the stems if necessary.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to foam.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until they start to brown and release their juices.
Step 5
Sprinkle the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms, then pour in the chicken broth.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb some of the broth.
Step 7
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the mushrooms.
Step 8
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and swirl the pan gently to melt the butter into the sauce, creating a shiny, smooth finish.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve the braised mushrooms warm.
