Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 8-10 minutes until they release their moisture and reduce in size.

Step 5

Sprinkle the paprika and dill weed over the mushroom mixture, stirring well to coat.
