Ingredients

• 250 grams mushrooms (button or cremini, cleaned and sliced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 clove garlic (minced, optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add olive oil and butter to the skillet. Let the butter melt and combine with the oil.

Step 3

Once the oil and butter mixture is hot, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for about 3–4 minutes. This will help them develop a golden-brown sear.

Step 5

Stir the mushrooms and continue to cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and the edges are caramelized.

Step 6

If using garlic, add the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to coat evenly.

Step 8

Remove the mushrooms from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
