Butter Garlic Sauteed Mushrooms
Description
This recipe uses white or cremini mushrooms cleaned and sliced, sautéed in an ample amount of unsalted butter over medium heat. Minced fresh garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and dried thyme are added early in cooking, allowing the mushrooms to soften as they release and then evaporate their moisture over approximately seven minutes.
The result is mushrooms with a tender texture and deep, mellow flavors from the butter and herbs. The parsley garnish adds a fresh element to the warm, savory dish.
Serve these mushrooms as a side for steak, chicken, or vegetarian dishes, or use them as a topping for crostini or grains.
Notes recommend patience and ample butter for the best flavor. Mushrooms should be wiped clean rather than soaked to preserve texture. Leftovers store well refrigerated for several days, gaining flavor over time, and can be reheated gently or frozen for longer storage, thawed overnight before use.
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms white or cremini, wiped clean and sliced
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt Or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat.
- When the foaming subsides, add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
- Cook, stirring often, over medium heat, until the mushrooms are tender and the liquids they release have evaporated, for about 7 minutes.
- Garnish the mushrooms with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use plenty of butter and cook mushrooms patiently over medium heat for best flavor and tenderness.
- Clean mushrooms by wiping with damp paper towels; avoid soaking to prevent excess moisture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days; flavor improves after a day or two.
- Reheat covered in the microwave at 50% power to maintain moisture and texture.
- Mushrooms freeze well for up to three months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
