Ingredients

• 500 grams button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 200 milliliters heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. If the mushrooms are large, slice them in half or quarters; small ones can be left whole.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh chives.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 4

Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the butter and oil mixture, then spread them out into an even layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and let the mushrooms cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to allow them to brown.

Step 7

Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until tender and golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Step 8

Lower the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and let the cream simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped chives and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or spooned over crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
