Garlic Butter Sauteed Mushrooms

Whew, have you ever met a mushroom that didn’t dramatically transform when introduced to garlic and butter? These little flavor sponges go from earthy wallflowers to the life of the party in under 15 minutes, making them the ultimate low-effort, high-reward side dish for anyone who believes dinner should be delicious, not difficult.

Ingredients

– 1 lb cremini mushrooms
– 3 tbsp unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Wipe 1 lb cremini mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt (avoid soaking them, as they absorb water like tiny sponges and won’t brown properly).
2. Slice the cleaned mushrooms into uniform 1/4-inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking.
3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet in a single layer, resisting the urge to stir for the first 3-4 minutes to develop a golden-brown sear.
5. Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes until they have released their liquid and most of it has evaporated.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, swirling the skillet until melted.
7. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds exactly, stirring constantly until fragrant but not browned (burnt garlic turns bitter, so watch the clock!).
8. Season the mushroom mixture with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, stirring to combine.
9. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
The result is a buttery, garlicky symphony with mushrooms that are tender yet slightly chewy, carrying a rich umami punch that makes them perfect for piling on toast, tossing with pasta, or shamelessly eating straight from the pan with a fork.

Ingredients

– 1.5 lbs cremini mushrooms

11. Remove from oven when mushrooms are tender and edges are crispy.
