Scale
Main 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 unsalted butter along with the olive oil to create a flavorful base for sautéing.
- Sauté the onion: Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until softened, about 3 minutes, to add sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Add the mushrooms: Introduce the cremini or button mushrooms to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and develop a crispy texture.
- Pour in the wine (optional): Add dry white wine to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to reduce slightly, intensifying the flavor.
- Stir in thyme, parsley, and garlic: Mix in the fresh thyme leaves, chopped parsley, and minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant to enhance the aromatic profile.
- Season with salt and pepper: Taste and add a pinch of salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors.
- Serve: Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve warm as a delicious side or appetizer.
Notes
- If you prefer a vegetarian option without alcohol, omit the white wine and use vegetable broth or water instead.
- Cremini mushrooms provide a deeper flavor, but button mushrooms work perfectly well for a milder taste.
- Serve alongside grilled meats, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
- Use fresh herbs for the best aroma and flavor impact.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the stove and pan size.
