Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh button or cremini mushrooms (whole or halved if large)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (to prevent butter burning)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing under water to prevent sogginess. Cut larger mushrooms into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
  2. Heat Butter and Oil: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter along with a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. The olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning and creates a smooth buttery base for cooking.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add the freshly minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the pan and spread them out evenly. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a golden-brown crust, then stir and continue cooking until tender and lightly caramelized.
  5. Season and Finish: Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If using, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Toss in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving for a burst of color and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for even melting and better browning.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook mushrooms in a single layer to avoid steaming.
  • Maintain moderate heat to prevent burning garlic or butter, allowing flavors to develop fully.
  • Always use fresh garlic for the best aroma and taste instead of pre-minced or powder when possible.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve brightness and prevent wilting.
  • Optional variations include adding grated Parmesan, swapping parsley with thyme or rosemary, using vegan butter or olive oil, adding red pepper flakes for heat, or incorporating white wine for enhanced flavor.
