Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (cremini or button), cleaned and sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne (for heat)
  • Fresh thyme, rosemary, or chives (for herb boost)
  • Freshly grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella (for cheesy upgrade)
  • Mixed mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, portobello) instead of cremini/button for mushroom medley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove dirt; avoid rinsing with water. Slice mushrooms evenly to ensure uniform cooking and optimal flavor absorption.
  2. Sauté garlic in butter and olive oil: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted and shimmering, add minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant without burning.
  3. Cook the mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms in a single layer if possible. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a golden brown sear. Stir occasionally until mushrooms are caramelized on all sides and tender.
  4. Season and finish: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the mushrooms. Add chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if using, then stir well to combine. Cook for another minute to blend flavors perfectly.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure mushrooms brown instead of steam.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best, vibrant flavor.
  • Allow mushrooms to sit in the pan before stirring to develop a deep golden crust.
  • Add parsley and lemon juice off the heat to maintain freshness.
  • Use high-quality butter for a richer taste and silky texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of butter or olive oil. Avoid microwaving.
  • Freeze cooled mushrooms on a baking sheet, then transfer to freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
