Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp (2.0 oz / 56.7 g) Unsalted Butter /
  • 16.0 oz (453.6 g) Button Mushrooms
  • 0.5 cup (2.6 oz / 74.0 g) Onion, chopped /
  • 2 tsp (0.3 oz / 8.5 g) Garlic, diced /
  • 1 tbsp (0.1 oz / 3.0 g) Fresh Thyme /
  • 1 tbsp (0.1 oz / 3.0 g) Parsley, chopped /
  • 0.5 tsp (2.5 ml) Salt
  • 0.25 tsp (1.3 ml) Black Pepper
  • Give Them Space: To get a perfect golden-brown sear, don't overcrowd the pan. If the mushrooms are piled up, they will steam instead of sizzle. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Hands Off for a Better Sear: Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed in the hot butter for the first 2-3 minutes. This allows them to develop a deep, caramelized crust before you start stirring.
  • Wipe, Don't Wash: Mushrooms are like little sponges. To prevent them from getting soggy, wipe them clean with a damp paper towel instead of rinsing them under water.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Melt the Butter: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely.
  4. Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Add the chopped onion and button mushrooms to the pan.
  5. Season immediately with salt and black pepper.
  6. Brown the Mixture: Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned on both sides and tender.
  7. Add Aromatics: Stir in the garlic and fresh thyme.
  8. Sauté for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  9. Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat.
  10. Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
  11. Add Garlic Last: Garlic burns quickly.
  12. Add it to the pan only after the mushrooms have browned to release its fragrant aroma without any bitterness.
