Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp cloth or paper towel. Avoid rinsing to prevent sogginess.
- Trim the stems and slice larger mushrooms in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the butter and let it melt completely, allowing it to bubble slightly.
Step 3: Cook the Mushrooms
- Add the mushrooms and thyme to the pan. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms turn golden brown and tender.
Step 4: Add Garlic
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove the thyme stem if using fresh thyme.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the mushrooms and stir to combine.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Garlic Level: If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the garlic to 2 teaspoons.
- Thyme Tip: If using a whole sprig of thyme, the leaves will naturally fall off during cooking. Simply remove the stem before serving.
- Even Cooking: Choose mushrooms of similar size or slice them uniformly to ensure they cook evenly.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
