Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel, gently brushing off any dirt. Slice each mushroom into thick slices.

Step 2

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the garlic does not burn.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown and release their juices.

Step 6

Pour in the low sodium chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Add fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, mixing thoroughly with the mushrooms.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 15 minutes, uncovered, until the liquid reduces slightly and the flavors meld.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to warm through without boiling, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.

Step 11

Garnish the stewed mushrooms with chopped fresh parsley just before serving. Enjoy as a side or main dish.
