Ingredients

• 500 grams mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, or button)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 60 milliliters dry white wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Slice larger mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces, leaving smaller ones whole for variety.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow the mushrooms to caramelize. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine, if using. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

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