Ingredients

• 2 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portabella and cremini mushrooms by gently wiping off any dirt with a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush. Do not soak the mushrooms, as they absorb water.

Step 2

Slice the portabella mushrooms into 1/4-inch strips and halve or quarter the cremini mushrooms, depending on their size.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, and chop the fresh thyme leaves and parsley (if using).

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt, swirling it to combine with the oil.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 6

Add the sliced portabella and cremini mushrooms to the skillet in an even layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat them in the oil and butter mixture.

Step 8

Sauté the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender. The mushrooms will release their moisture during cooking, then reabsorb it as they brown.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped thyme during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to enhance the flavor.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
