Garlic Butter Fried Mushrooms
Garlic Butter Fried Mushrooms are a quick, savory side dish bursting with flavor, perfect for any meal.
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
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse briefly, then pat them dry. Halve or quarter them if large.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to bubble.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
