A classic Italian dish of sautéed mushrooms cooked with garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs. Perfect as a side dish or a versatile topping.
Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Cutting Board
- Sharp Knife
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs mixed mushrooms (e.g., cremini, button, porcini) sliced
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter optional, for richness
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp dry white wine optional, for acidity
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley plus extra for garnish
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- ½ tsp sea salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove dirt. Slice them evenly for uniform cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using butter, add it now and let it melt.
- Add garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
- Spread mushrooms in a single layer in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to allow browning, then stir occasionally. Continue cooking for 5-7 more minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown.
- Stir in the white wine, if using, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated. Add parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with additional parsley before serving.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning. Experiment with different mushroom varieties for a unique flavor profile.
