Ingredients
1 lb mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced or halved
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel and slice if needed.
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3–4 minutes to allow browning.
Stir and continue cooking for 5–7 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and turn golden.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finish with lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm.
Notes
Use butter for a richer flavor or olive oil for a lighter option.
Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
Deglaze the pan with white wine for added depth.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet.
