Preparation
- 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
- Melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam.
- 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.
- Sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Stir in the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking, ensuring not to burn it, to infuse the butter with its aroma.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, then season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- 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.
