Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 pound mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons white wine (or broth)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  • Cook mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add aromatics: Reduce heat to medium, then stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Deglaze: Add 3 tablespoons of white wine (or broth) and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
  • Finish: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Stir until the butter is melted and the mushrooms are glossy. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

    • Mushrooms: Use cremini, button, or a mix for variety.
    • Oil & Butter: A combination of both ensures flavor and proper browning.
    • White Wine: A dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works best. If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with broth.
    • Worcestershire Sauce: Swap it with soy sauce for a vegetarian version.
  • Recipe tips:

    • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Use a large pan to avoid steaming the mushrooms.
    • Golden sear: Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed in the pan for better browning.
    • Season early: Add salt early on to draw out moisture, and taste before adjusting seasoning.
    • Fresh herbs: If swapping dried herbs for fresh, double the amount.
  • Storage tips:

    • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
    • Reheat: Reheat in a skillet, adding butter or broth if needed. Ensure it reaches at least 165°F.
