Description

These sautéed mushrooms are a quick, easy, and flavorful side dish that pairs perfectly with almost any main course. With savory garlic, fresh herbs, and a splash of white wine or broth, they’re an irresistible addition to your meal that’s ready in just 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 pound mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons white wine or broth (your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Mushrooms:
    Heat 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  2. Add Aromatics:
    Reduce heat to medium and stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, and ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  3. Deglaze:
    Add 3 tablespoons 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 Worcestershire sauce and mix well.

  4. Finish:
    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley. Stir until the butter is melted and the mushrooms become glossy. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ingredient Notes:

    • Mushrooms: You can use cremini, button mushrooms, or a mix of both.
    • Oil & Butter: Using both helps with flavor and browning.
    • White Wine: A dry wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works best. You can substitute with broth if preferred.
    • Worcestershire Sauce: For a vegetarian option, substitute Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce.
  • Recipe Tips:

    • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure to use a large pan to avoid steaming the mushrooms.
    • Golden Sear: Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed for a few moments to ensure they brown nicely.
    • Season Early: Adding salt early helps draw out moisture from the mushrooms. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
    • Fresh Herbs: If you swap dried thyme or rosemary for fresh, use double the amount.
  • Storage Tips:

    • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
    • Reheat: Reheat in a skillet, adding a little butter or broth if necessary, and heat to at least 165°F before serving.
