Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (or dried thyme)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly rinse the mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Slice them into even pieces (about ¼-inch thick).
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes to achieve a golden-brown sear on one side.
Step 5
Stir the mushrooms gently to flip them and allow the other side to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until tender and browned.
Step 6
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves (or dried thyme), salt, and black pepper evenly over the mushrooms. Stir well to coat them in the seasoning.
Step 7
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve hot as a side dish or topping for steak, pasta, or toast.
