Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 8 oz cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

Butter and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)

Aromatics and Herbs

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Seasonings and Extras

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing under water to prevent excess moisture. Slice mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
  2. Cook the Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter (and olive oil if using). Add finely chopped fresh garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant but not browned, releasing their signature aroma.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring to coat evenly in the garlic butter. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and their juices have mostly evaporated, concentrating flavor.
  4. Season and Add Herbs: Season mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in fresh thyme or parsley and cook for another 2 minutes to allow herbs to infuse their fragrance.
  5. Final Touches: If desired, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the mushrooms, stir gently, then remove from heat. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and herbs for the best flavor intensity.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; give mushrooms space to brown rather than steam.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning butter or garlic.
  • Pat mushrooms dry before cooking to prevent sogginess.
  • A splash of lemon juice brightens the rich flavors at the end.
