Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 16 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, to taste
- Optional: finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the fat: Add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until the butter melts completely.
- Cook mushrooms: Place the sliced mushrooms in a single layer in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden-brown sear. Then, flip the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until evenly browned.
- Add butter and garlic: Create a well in the center of the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Season and continue cooking: Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for another 4-5 minutes until they are tender and flavorful.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor and texture; button or cremini mushrooms work well too.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the mushrooms brown nicely instead of steaming.
- Adjust garlic amount to your preference for stronger or milder flavor.
- Butter can be substituted with all oil for a dairy-free version, but flavor will differ.
- Serve as a side dish, topping for steaks, or with pasta for a simple yet delicious addition.
