Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is like prepping for a little kitchen adventure—one that doesn’t require a thousand obscure items. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, cleaned and halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a splash of white wine or lemon juice for extra zing
If you’re out of cremini mushrooms, white button mushrooms work just as well. And if fresh parsley isn’t your thing, dried parsley will do in a pinch.
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into creating this dish. Cooking doesn’t have to be a chore; it can be your moment of zen amidst the chaos of daily life.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Wait until the butter is melted and starts to sizzle.
- Add the halved mushrooms in a single layer. Let them cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they start to brown on one side.
- Stir the mushrooms, and once they’re evenly browned, add the minced garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.
- Sprinkle in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, letting the flavors meld for about 2 minutes.
- If you’re using the optional splash of wine or lemon juice, add it now. This will deglaze the pan and add a touch of acidity that cuts through the richness.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley. The freshness will brighten the dish and add a pop of color.
