Ingredients
- 450 grams Cremini mushrooms (or button mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary and slice the mushrooms thinly (about 5 mm thick).
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and become bubbly.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Cook the mushrooms undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Step 4
Gently stir the mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring they are evenly browned.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 6
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for added richness.
Step 8
Finish with a splash of fresh lemon juice to brighten the dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish, or use as a topping for steaks, chicken, pasta, or rice.
