Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or rosemary), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing under water to prevent sogginess. Slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it. Immediately add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add Herbs and Seasonings: Reduce heat to medium and toss in the fresh herbs along with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the herbs to infuse their flavors into the mushrooms for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Finish and Serve: If using, drizzle lemon juice over the mushrooms for brightness, give everything a final toss, then remove from heat. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Keep mushrooms as dry as possible before cooking to ensure they brown nicely instead of steaming.
  • Use medium-high heat to develop a golden crust and unlock rich, roasted flavors.
  • Fresh herbs deliver the best aroma and brightness; use dried herbs sparingly if needed.
  • Cook mushrooms in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and steaming.
  • Let cooked mushrooms rest slightly off the heat to fully absorb flavors before serving.
