Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced if large
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • Herbs like thyme or rosemary (1 tsp fresh, chopped)
  • Red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper (a pinch)
  • Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, for sprinkling
  • White wine (2 tbsp) for deglazing

Vegan Variation

  • 3 tbsp plant-based butter (instead of unsalted butter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Mushrooms: Start by cleaning the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt without soaking them. Slice larger mushrooms; leave small ones whole to maintain bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the Pan and Melt Butter: Place a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and room temperature unsalted butter. Let the butter melt completely, avoiding browning to keep a clean buttery flavor.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Shallots: Add minced garlic and finely chopped shallots (if using) to the pan. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring carefully to prevent garlic from burning.
  4. Cook the Mushrooms: Add mushrooms in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop natural browning. Stir occasionally until mushrooms are tender and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Season and Finish: Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Toss to coat well, letting the remaining butter melt into the mushrooms for a glossy finish. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to ensure even melting without burning.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook mushrooms in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
  • Let mushrooms brown properly to develop deeper flavors and satisfying texture.
  • Add garlic late in the process to avoid bitterness from overcooking.
  • Always use fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for best aroma and color.
