Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 pound sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or ½ tablespoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Gently heat the neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally as they start to release water.
- Brown the Mushrooms: Continue stirring until the mushrooms begin to brown and caramelize.
- Add Garlic and Thyme: Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic turns golden but does not burn.
- Finish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle sliced green onions or chives over the mushrooms just before serving for added flavor and color.
Notes
- Wipe, don’t wash: Mushrooms absorb water if rinsed, so clean with a damp cloth instead.
- Slice evenly: Uniform slices promote even cooking and proper caramelization.
- Preheat the pan: Ensure the pan is hot enough so mushrooms sizzle upon contact to avoid sogginess.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook mushrooms in batches if necessary to prevent steaming instead of sautéing.
