If you're a fan of mushrooms, you're in for a treat with these Savory Garlic Herb Sauteed Mushrooms. Quick to whip up and bursting with earthy flavors, they're the perfect side or topping to elevate any meal.
Olive oil is the starting point, providing a smooth base to sauté the mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms are heartier and more flavorful than white mushrooms, making them ideal for this dish. A touch of unsalted butter adds richness and depth. Garlic provides a pungent aroma that pairs perfectly with the mushrooms. Thyme and rosemary add a fresh, herbal touch that highlights the earthy notes. A pinch of salt and black pepper balances the flavors, while parsley brings a pop of color and freshness. Lastly, a squeeze of lemon juice brightens the dish, cutting through the rich flavors.
These mushrooms make a delicious topping for grilled steak or chicken. They also pair beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or polenta. For a vegetarian twist, toss them with pasta and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. As the oil starts to shimmer, add the sliced cremini mushrooms. Let them cook, stirring occasionally, until they're golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes, and you'll notice them releasing their juices and then beginning to caramelize.
Once the mushrooms are nicely browned, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. As it melts, stir in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the garlic is fragrant and the herbs have infused their aroma into the mix.
Finally, stir in the lemon juice and parsley, cooking for just another minute to let everything meld together. Serve these savory mushrooms hot, and watch them disappear quickly!
