Ingredients
- 500 g Cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water, as mushrooms absorb moisture quickly.
Step 2
Slice the mushrooms evenly, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 5
Cook the mushrooms undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes, allowing them to brown on one side.
Step 6
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until they're golden brown and tender. Reduce the heat slightly if they start to burn.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 8
Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish, or use as a topping for steak, pasta, rice, or toasted bread.
