Instructions
Prep The Mushrooms:
Gently wipe each mushroom clean using a damp cloth or paper towel don’t rinse them under running water. Cut them into quarters, or halves if they’re on the smaller side.
Warm The Pan:
Set a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil and give it a moment to heat up.
Cook The Mushrooms:
Add the mushrooms to the hot pan. Let them cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring now and then. They’ll start to release their moisture and take on a nice golden colour.
Add The Good Stuff:
Turn the heat down just a little. Drop in the butter and garlic. Stir frequently and let everything cook together for 3 to 4 minutes, until the garlic smells amazing and the mushrooms are rich with flavour.
Season Well:
Sprinkle in some salt, black pepper, and a pinch of dried herbs whatever you like. Stir it all together and let it cook for another minute or two.
Finish And Serve:
Take the pan off the heat. Toss in some fresh chopped parsley for colour and a fresh hit of flavour. Serve warm.
