Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive or avocado)
- 3 tablespoons butter (salted)
- 16 ounces mushrooms (white, sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat oil and butter: Add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt fully before proceeding.
- Cook mushrooms initially: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes to develop a golden crust on one side.
- Flip and continue cooking: Flip the mushrooms over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the other side is 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 for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Season and finish cooking: Stir in salt and black pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until they are tender and fully cooked.
- Serve: Serve the sautéed mushrooms immediately. Optionally sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy as a savory side dish or as a topping for steaks, salads, or pastas.
Notes
- Use fresh white mushrooms for the best texture and flavor. Other mushroom varieties like cremini or shiitake can be substituted.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even browning; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with additional olive or avocado oil.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright touch, but it can be omitted if unavailable.
