Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt (do not soak them in water). Slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.
Step 4
Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow the mushrooms to brown evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to turn golden brown.
Step 5
Reduce the heat slightly and add the minced garlic, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Step 6
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and stir until the butter melts and coats the mushrooms evenly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and discard the thyme sprigs if used.
Step 8
Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm as a side dish.
