Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions
Description
This recipe begins by heating extra virgin olive oil and unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Mushrooms are added first and sautéed undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes to develop a browned exterior and deepen their flavor. Then, sliced sweet yellow onions, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper are added to the pan.
The mixture cooks for another 6 to 7 minutes over medium heat until both mushrooms and onions are tender and nicely caramelized. This slow cooking enhances their natural sweetness and umami character.
The sautéed mushrooms and onions can be served as a versatile side dish alongside meats, grains, or vegetables, or included in sandwiches and omelets. Their rich flavor and soft texture make them a useful addition to many recipes.
Options for substitutions include using other herbs like Italian seasoning, basil, or herbes de Provence, and adding bell peppers to enhance flavor and color. Leftovers refrigerate well for up to 5 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen directly in a pan over medium-high heat.
