Description

This Sauteed Mushrooms with Garlic recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy tender mushrooms cooked to golden perfection with garlic, thyme, and a touch of white wine. Perfect as a side dish or topping, the combination of soy sauce, butter, and olive oil creates a rich and savory flavor profile that enhances the earthy mushrooms.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Mushrooms & Seasonings

  • 1 pound brown mushrooms or white, cremini, or portobello mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme or a pinch of dried thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Fats & Liquids

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)

Garnish

  • Chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a paper towel or using a mushroom brush to remove any dirt. Slice the mushrooms into thick slices approximately ½ inch thick to ensure even cooking and good texture.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a pan over medium high heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the fats to melt and heat until shimmering, which will provide a flavorful base for sautéing the mushrooms.
  3. Toss Mushrooms with Soy Sauce: Just before cooking, toss the sliced mushrooms quickly with soy sauce. This step should be done immediately prior to cooking to prevent the mushrooms from releasing too much moisture prematurely.
  4. Sauté Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the hot pan. Spread them out and avoid stirring right away. Let them cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes so they can brown nicely on one side, developing a rich caramelized flavor.
  5. Add Wine and Aromatics: If using, pour in the white wine and allow it to evaporate. Add the minced garlic and thyme to the pan, then continue cooking the mushrooms for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step infuses the mushrooms with aromatic garlic and herb flavors.
  6. Season and Serve: Season the sautéed mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving to add a fresh, mild onion flavor and vibrant color.

Notes

  • Do not toss mushrooms with soy sauce too far in advance to prevent them from becoming watery.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan for best browning results.
  • White wine is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor; substitute with vegetable broth if preferred.
  • Choose your favorite mushroom variety, or mix types for more complexity.
  • Serve as a side dish, on toast, or as a topping for steak or pasta.
