Servings: 6 as a side
Calories: 91kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon butter - divided
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms - cleaned (white button mushrooms will also work)
- 5 cloves garlic - minced (approx. 1 tablespoon)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- fresh parsley - chopped
Instructions
- Get a heavy pan nice and hot. Grab a heavy pan or skillet (the opposite of nonstick) and set it over high heat. Don't add anything to the pan until it's hot. Once hot, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat until butter is just starting to turn frothy (not burn).
- Add half of the mushrooms to the pan in a single layer - wait to add the rest of the mushrooms until the first half is browned and no liquid remains in the bottom of the pan.
- Sauté. Allow the mushrooms to brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring. Continue to cook your mushrooms until no (or very little) liquid remains at the bottom of the pan. Once your mushrooms are evenly browned, push them to the side of the pan. Add the remaining mushrooms in a single layer. Sauté and brown until this second batch is evenly browned.
- Add flavor. Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and stir to combine with the browned mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. Best served immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Should you slice your mushrooms? This is entirely up to you. You can slice them or keep them whole, just don't slice them too thin. Remember- mushrooms drop a lot of water as they cook.
- Chose the right pan. The right pan is important for cooking mushrooms. Heavy, stainless steel or cast iron skillets disperse and retain heat which makes for even cooking and delicious browned mushrooms.
- Make sure your pan is hot before adding the mushrooms. You'll know you have a hot pan when the olive oil just barely starts smoking, clarified butter starts to ripple, or butter is frothy.
- Optional garnishes. fresh thyme, fresh parsley, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, or parmesan cheese.
- This recipe is: low-carb, gluten-free, and vegetarian
- I made this recipe using halved cremini mushrooms but using a mixture of different kinds of mushrooms results in fun textures and flavor. Try adding baby bellas, shiitake, cremini, chanterelle, portobello, and oyster.
