Ingredients
- 1 pound baby bella mushrooms (cremini)
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 3 TBSP unsalted butter
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (peeled and minced)
- ½ tsp sea salt plus extra to taste
- ¼ tsp dried thyme or ½-1 tsp fresh thyme
- ⅛ black pepper
- 1 TBSP fresh chopped parsley to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel and cut into quarters.
- Heat a large skillet (cast iron or stainless steel work best here) to medium-high heat.
- Add 1 TBSP oil and the mushrooms. Stir to coat the mushrooms with oil then leave them for 4 minutes without touching/moving.
- Once the bottom side of the mushrooms are nice and golden stir them up and cook for an additional 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. During the final minute, add 3 TBSP butter, ½ tsp salt, ⅛ tsp pepper, and dried or fresh thyme. Saute until both the mushrooms/garlic are tender and fragrant.
- Feel free to give it a little taste test and add any additional salt/pepper/thyme desired. Crushed red pepper flakes can be added for a spicy kick.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
