Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 16 ounces mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • damp cloth or paper towel

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Clean the mushrooms thoroughly with a damp cloth or paper towel; avoid rinsing them under water to prevent sogginess. Trim the bottom of the stems.
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam. Add the cleaned mushrooms to the hot skillet, ensuring they are in a single layer to promote even browning.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the mushrooms. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley. Serve the sautéed mushrooms immediately as a delicious side dish or topping.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or a dash of balsamic vinegar during the last minute of cooking. These mushrooms are great served alongside steaks, chicken, or as a topping for toast.
