Ingredients

• 500 grams Cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 5 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons White wine (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems and cut larger mushrooms in half for even cooking, leaving smaller ones whole.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt completely and become slightly foamy.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning. Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 4

Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and brown further.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with the thyme sprigs. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

If using white wine, deglaze the skillet by pouring it in and stirring to loosen any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until mostly evaporated.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for a glossy finish.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat, discard the thyme sprigs, and garnish the mushrooms with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite main course.
