Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe
Description
This sauteed mushroom recipe begins by searing halved button mushrooms in butter and olive oil over medium heat, promoting a caramelized surface. After about five minutes, minced garlic and seasoning are added to infuse flavor without overpowering the mushrooms. Fresh thyme leaves enhance the herbal aroma, while dry sherry is incorporated last to add a mild acidity and complex notes.
The mushrooms simmer gently in the sherry, allowing them to absorb the liquid and concentrate their flavors without becoming soggy. The result is a balance of tender, golden-edged mushrooms coated in a fragrant, lightly reduced sauce.
These sauteed mushrooms serve well as a side dish to grilled meats or can be spooned over steaks, chicken, or pasta. They can be enjoyed warm and complement various savory meals.
Storing mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge can keep them fresh up to 10 days before cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds button mushrooms halved
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons thyme fresh leaves
- 3/4 cup dry sherry
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and oil. Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms.
- Allow the mushrooms to sear for 5 minutes, stirring to flip them over. Then add the garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mushrooms to sear another 5 minutes to develop a rich caramelized color.
- Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and sherry. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 10 more minutes, stirring on occasion. The goal is for the mushrooms to absorb the sherry, leaving only a small amount of moisture in the pan.
- Taste, then salt and pepper again if needed. Serve warm over meat or as a side dish!
Notes
- Store mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days before use.
