Indulge in the rich, slow-cooked flavors of "All Day Mushrooms," a recipe that transforms simple button or cremini mushrooms into a luxurious, deeply savory side dish. These tender, earthy mushrooms are simmered for hours in a flavorful blend of butter, olive oil, garlic, fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary, and a duo of dry white wine and vegetable or chicken stock. The low-and-slow cooking method allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a dish that's perfect for pairing with crusty bread, grilled steaks, or creamy pastas. With just 15 minutes of prep and minimal hands-on effort, this recipe is the ultimate make-ahead companion for cozy dinners or special occasions. Garnish with fresh parsley to add a pop of brightness to this comforting, aromatic dish.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or use a mushroom brush to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water, as mushrooms absorb liquid easily.
In a large heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the butter, olive oil, and garlic mixture.
Add the thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaf to the skillet. Stir everything to combine.
Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock and dry white wine. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the mushrooms to cook for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally. The liquid will reduce and the flavors will deepen.
Towards the end of the cooking time, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaf before serving.
Serve the mushrooms warm as a side dish or spoon them over toasted bread, grilled steak, or fresh pasta. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and brightness.
