Ingredients
Scale
- Base Ingredients:
- 16 oz cremini or button mushrooms, whole or sliced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp soy sauce (optional, for extra umami)
- Seasonings & Garnishes:
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove dirt. Trim the stems if needed.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Add mushrooms in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust.
- Add Garlic & Seasonings: Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and coated in the flavorful sauce.
- Finish with Herbs: Add fresh thyme or rosemary and let the mushrooms absorb the aroma for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot as a side dish.
Notes
- Cheesy Mushrooms: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
- Creamy Version: Add a splash of heavy cream for a richer texture.
- Wine-Infused: Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine for added depth.
- Balsamic Twist: Drizzle balsamic glaze for a tangy-sweet contrast.
- Spicy Kick: Increase red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
