Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 250 milliliters Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and trim the ends. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to foam.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir to coat them in the oil and butter. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown.
Step 5
Add the fresh thyme sprigs to the mushrooms. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the mushrooms are partially submerged.
Step 6
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the mushrooms braise for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and the mushrooms are tender.
Step 9
Discard the thyme sprigs. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms and give it a gentle stir.
Step 10
Serve the braised mushrooms hot as a side dish or a topping for low-carb entrees.
