Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound brown or white mushrooms, sliced
1 large sweet yellow onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Heat oil and butter. Add the olive oil and butter to a large skillet set over medium-high heat and allow the butter to melt completely.
Cook mushrooms. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, stir briefly, and sauté for 5 minutes without disturbing to let them brown nicely.
Add aromatics and seasonings. Reduce heat to medium, then add the sliced onion, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to the skillet.
Sauté until tender. Cook for an additional 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and onions are soft and golden brown.
Adjust seasoning and serve. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired, then serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
Notes
Use a large skillet to avoid overcrowding for better browning of mushrooms.
Substitute fresh thyme for dried thyme for a more vibrant flavor.
For vegan option, replace butter with an extra 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Serve as a topping for steak, chicken, or toast for added flavor.
Make sure to not stir mushrooms too often to allow them to caramelize properly.
