Ingredients
1 lb (450g) cremini or white mushrooms, cleaned and halved
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
Add the mushrooms in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side.
Stir the mushrooms and add the minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and drizzle with lemon juice if using. Toss to combine.
Serve immediately as a side dish.
Tips
For extra flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties like shiitake and oyster.
Don't overcrowd the pan; browning is key for flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet.
