Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt (do not soak them in water). Slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow the mushrooms to brown evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to turn golden brown.

Step 5

Reduce the heat slightly and add the minced garlic, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and stir until the butter melts and coats the mushrooms evenly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and discard the thyme sprigs if used.

Step 8

Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm as a side dish.
