Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) cremini or baby bella mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (6 g) freshly chopped parsley
- Optional: splash of white wine or chicken stock
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if needed and slice larger mushrooms in half. Keep smaller ones whole for variety.
- Place your skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of unsalted butter.
- Once the butter melts and starts to sizzle, add 4 cloves of minced garlic. Stir frequently for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn!
- Toss the mushrooms into the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the garlic butter.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) of salt and 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of black pepper over the mushrooms. Stir again.
- Let the mushrooms cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should release their juices and become golden brown.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (6 g) of freshly chopped parsley and cook for another minute.
- Optional: Add a splash of white wine or chicken stock for extra flavor. Let it simmer for a minute before serving.
- Serve immediately while they’re hot and fragrant.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning. Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter. Mushrooms shrink as they cook, so don’t worry if the skillet looks crowded initially.
