Ingredients

• 450 g wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles, shiitake, oyster, or cremini)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 60 ml dry white wine (optional)
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean the wild mushrooms by gently brushing off dirt with a damp paper towel. Avoid washing them directly under water as this can make them soggy. Slice larger mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring often to prevent burning.

Step 4

Increase the heat to high and add the mushrooms to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer to allow for even cooking.

Step 5

Cook the mushrooms for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to caramelize and brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle the thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms. Stir well to combine, cooking for another 2–3 minutes.

Step 7

If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the wine mostly evaporates.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cook for another minute, just to combine the flavors.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish, or use as a topping for crusty bread, grilled meats, or pasta.
