Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fresh button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced or left whole
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them with water to prevent sogginess. Slice evenly if you prefer, or leave whole for a rustic look.
  2. Heat Butter and Oil: In a large skillet, melt the room temperature unsalted butter over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil to help regulate the heat and prevent the butter from browning too quickly.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and oil, cooking it for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned to avoid bitterness.
  4. Cook Mushrooms: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Let them sear without stirring for a couple of minutes to develop a golden brown color.
  5. Season and Stir: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the mushrooms, then stir occasionally until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Remove the skillet from heat and toss the mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley, adding a bright and fresh flavor to balance the richness.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
  • Avoid rinsing mushrooms with water to keep them from becoming soggy; use a damp cloth instead.
  • The olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning during cooking.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste.
  • Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
