Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, chopped (optional)
- 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 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 combine it with the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning and to add depth of flavor.
- Sauté the onion. Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook it until softened, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid browning.
- Add the mushrooms. Stir in the cremini or button mushrooms, cooking them for 4-5 minutes until they turn golden and develop a crispy exterior.
- Pour in the wine. If using, pour the dry white wine over the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate and the liquid to reduce slightly, enhancing the flavor.
- Stir in thyme, parsley, and garlic. Add the fresh thyme leaves, chopped parsley, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant, to keep the fresh herbal aroma alive.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference.
- Serve. Sprinkle the mushrooms with any remaining chopped parsley and serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- Optional onions add sweetness but can be omitted for a more straightforward mushroom flavor.
- Dry white wine is optional but adds a nice acidity and complexity to the dish.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried versions will alter the taste profile.
- Serve immediately for the best texture as mushrooms can become soggy if stored for too long.
- Can be served on toasted bread or alongside grilled meats and vegetables.
