Ingredients
  

  • For the Garlic Butter Mushrooms:
  • 1 lb (450 g) whole button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or a squeeze of fresh lemon (optional, for brightness)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Mushrooms : Wipe mushrooms clean using a damp paper towel. Trim any tough stems if needed but leave the mushrooms whole for a beautiful presentation.
  • Heat the Pan : In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter melts and starts to foam slightly.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms : Add the mushrooms to the pan in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, allowing them to brown nicely. Stir occasionally and cook for another 5 minutes, until they are tender and golden on all sides.
  • Add Garlic and Herbs : Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary (if using). Sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
  • Season and Finish : Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon juice for a fresh burst of flavor (optional but highly recommended). Toss in the chopped parsley just before removing from the heat.
  • Serve Immediately : Transfer to a serving dish and spoon the buttery sauce over the mushrooms. Serve warm and enjoy!
