Ingredients

• 400 grams button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 200 milliliters heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
• 50 milliliters dry white wine
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. If the mushrooms are large, slice them into halves or quarters for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside. Chop the fresh tarragon leaves and parsley (if using) and set aside as well.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to foam.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter and oil mixture. Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to develop a golden brown color on one side.

Step 5

Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes until they are tender and browned evenly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant but not browned.

Step 7

Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping any browned bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3–4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Add the chopped tarragon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.

Step 10

Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the sauteed mushrooms with tarragon cream sauce immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
