Ingredients

• 450 grams Button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp towel. If necessary, trim the stems slightly.

Step 2

Slice larger mushrooms in half or quarters to ensure even cooking. Leave smaller ones whole.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the mushrooms in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Cook in batches if needed.

Step 6

Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Stir the mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly browned.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining butter, minced garlic, and thyme sprigs. Stir well to coat the mushrooms with the garlic and thyme flavors.

Step 9

Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Step 10

Remove the thyme sprigs and transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately as a side dish or topping for steak, chicken, or pasta.
