Ingredients
Scale
Butter and Oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1/2 onion, chopped (optional)
- 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Additional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Pinch of pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the butter and oil: In a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and warm the olive oil together until shimmering.
- Sauté the onion: Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened and translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Add the mushrooms: Toss in the cremini or button mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms turn golden brown and develop a crispy edge.
- Pour in the wine: Pour the dry white wine into the pan (if using) and let it cook for around 2 minutes to reduce slightly, enhancing the mushrooms with extra flavor.
- Stir in thyme, parsley, and garlic: Add the chopped fresh thyme, parsley, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring to combine evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preference.
- Serve: Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve the garlic mushrooms warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- You can omit the onion if you prefer a more mushroom-forward flavor.
- The white wine is optional but adds a nice depth to the dish. You can substitute with vegetable broth if avoiding alcohol.
- Use fresh herbs for the best aroma and flavor.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta, or crusty bread.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow mushrooms to brown properly rather than steam.
