Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces sliced mushrooms (brown or white)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the mushrooms if they aren’t pre-sliced, and mince the garlic. Chop the fresh parsley for garnish. Having everything ready will make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
  2. Place your large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for about a minute. The oil should shimmer but not smoke, indicating it's ready for the mushrooms.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they sauté rather than steam. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
  4. Once the mushrooms are nicely browned, reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
  5. Drizzle the soy sauce over the mushrooms and add the tablespoon of butter. Stir to combine, allowing the butter to melt completely and coat the mushrooms in a rich, savory glaze. Cook for an additional minute.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or as a topping for your favorite protein.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure the mushrooms sauté properly.
  • Pat the mushrooms dry before cooking for better browning.
  • Add garlic after the mushrooms have browned to prevent burning.
