Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large portabella mushroom caps sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine e.g., Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and slice them into thick strips.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and start to brown.
  3. Add Aromatics: Lower the heat slightly, add butter, and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the white wine and sprinkle in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly.
  5. Finish with Lemon: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side to steak, chicken, or pasta, or on its own!

Notes

  • Mushroom Selection: Choose firm and fresh portabella caps without any slimy spots.
  • Wine Substitute: If avoiding alcohol, substitute white wine with vegetable broth and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet.
  • Enhancements: Add a dash of cream for a richer sauce or red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
