Description
Achieve perfectly browned, tender mushrooms with crisp edges, infused with aromatic garlic. This versatile side dish is quick to prepare and adds a burst of savory flavor to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs cremini mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced ¼ to ½ inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 4–5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- ½ tsp sea salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Mushrooms: Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and trim woody ends. Slice mushrooms evenly ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- 2. Heat Pan: Place a large heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Once butter is melted and sizzling, proceed.
- 3. Sauté First Batch: Add half of the sliced mushrooms to the hot pan in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side. Toss and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned all over. Remove to a plate.
- 4. Sauté Second Batch & Garlic: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to the pan. Once melted, add the remaining mushrooms and repeat the sautéing process. Once browned, add the minced garlic to the pan with all the mushrooms. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- 5. Season and Finish: Season generously with salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat. If using a grill pan, transfer mushrooms to the hot grill pan for 1-2 minutes per side to get grill marks and smoky flavor (optional).
- 6. Serve: Give the mushrooms a final toss. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, if desired. Serve immediately.
