Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Cremini mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel and trim any woody ends from the stems; avoid washing them under running water as they can absorb too much moisture.
Cooking
  1. Melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam.
  2. Add the clean mushrooms to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan; cook them in batches if necessary to achieve a good sear rather than steaming.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking, ensuring not to burn it, to infuse the butter with its aroma.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat, then season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish the sautéed mushrooms with fresh chopped parsley just before serving to add a touch of color and freshness.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of dry white wine or a few drops of balsamic glaze during the last few minutes of cooking. Do not overcook the mushrooms, as they can become rubbery. These mushrooms are best served immediately as a side dish or over pasta, steak, or toast.
