Ingredients

• 500 g Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp Fresh thyme (or dried thyme)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Cut the mushrooms into halves or quarters if they are large; leave smaller mushrooms whole.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Stir to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms. Stir well, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly seasoned.

Step 6

Cook the mushrooms for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they brown properly.

Step 7

Once the mushrooms are golden and tender, stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the Mello Mushrooms hot as a side dish, or use them as a topping for toast, pasta, or protein dishes.
