Ingredients

• 450 grams button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under running water as mushrooms absorb moisture easily. Remove the stems if desired and slice the mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to shimmer, then add the butter and let it melt fully.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, sauté the mushrooms in batches.

Step 4

Cook the mushrooms undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to allow them to caramelize on one side. Stir them gently and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 6

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine, and taste to adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Remove the mushrooms from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately as a side dish or topping.
