Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh button mushrooms sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional for extra brightness
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel. Slice them evenly and set them aside.
- Heat the pan: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s foamy but not browned.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
- Cook the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir well to coat them in the garlic butter. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown and tender.
- Season and serve: Once the mushrooms are cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. For a fresh touch, add a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley on top.
- Enjoy: Serve the sautéed button mushrooms immediately, either as a side dish, topping for meats, pasta, or even a salad.
Notes
- Storage: Leftover sautéed mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in the pan.
- Variation: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use different herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- Serving Ideas: Serve with roasted chicken, grilled steak, or toss in a pasta dish for added flavor.
