Ingredients
250 g button mushrooms
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Leave smaller mushrooms whole and slice larger ones.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter.
- Once the butter melts and starts bubbling, add the chopped garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and increase the heat to high.
- Cook the mushrooms for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly golden.
- Season with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, then stir well.
- Pour in the lemon juice and toss the mushrooms to coat evenly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Cremini or baby bella mushrooms can be used for a deeper earthy flavor.
Add a splash of heavy cream near the end for extra richness.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes with the thyme for a spicy variation.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving for additional savory flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for the best texture and flavor.
