Ingredients
- 1 lb (about 450g) white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
Instructions
- Prep the Mushrooms: Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel and quarter them. Set aside.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to get a nice sear, then stir occasionally for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and most of the moisture has evaporated.
- Add Garlic: Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Season: Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
- Finish: Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy hot!
Tips & FAQ
- Can I use other mushrooms? Yes! Try baby bellas, shiitake, or a mix for extra flavor.
- How do I keep mushrooms from getting soggy? Cook them in a single layer and don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Serving suggestion: These are great on toast, tossed with pasta, or as a side for steak or chicken.
