Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 pound sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or ½ tablespoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Gently heat the neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Cook mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to release their water.
- Brown the mushrooms: Continue stirring until the mushrooms begin to brown and caramelize.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Sauté garlic: Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is golden and mellow, taking care not to burn it.
- Finish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving for a fresh garnish.
Notes
- Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth rather than washing to avoid sogginess.
- Slice mushrooms evenly and not too thick to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Preheat the pan properly so the mushrooms sizzle on contact, promoting a good sear.
- Cook mushrooms in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and steaming instead of sautéing.
