Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
• 8 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the onion into thin half-moons. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stems. Set aside.

Step 3

Clean and slice the mushrooms into 1/4-inch pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until the onions are soft and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium and add the bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 7

Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the peppers. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 8

Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme (if using). Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 9

Return the caramelized onions to the skillet and stir gently to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
