Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g 1 lb button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and halved
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse briefly, then pat them dry. Halve or quarter them if large.
  2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to bubble.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
  4. Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the garlic become fragrant without burning.
  5. Season and Garnish: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of butter and ghee.
  • This dish tastes best fresh but can be reheated in a skillet over low heat.
