Ingredients

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds whole small button mushrooms, wiped clean
3 tablespoons butter
Gray sea salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms. Do not move the mushrooms until they have caramelized on the bottom. If you toss them too soon, they will release their liquid and begin to steam. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss them and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the butter. Cook and toss for 5 minutes, until beautifully browned.

Season with salt and add the garlic. Saute another 2 minutes, and add the thyme, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook to evaporate the liquid.

Toss in the parsley and serve immediately.

Delicious Mushrooms!!! (did a healthier variation and just as delicious!)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These mushrooms are amazing!!! I've made these with and without lemon juice and they are great! Always get compliments on... this dish! I modified this a little to make a tad bit healthy...used 1 tablespoon oil (sometimes just use pam spray with oil) and light butter. Very yummy!!Read more

Truly the BEST!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe lives up to its name of Best Button Mushrooms. My family will eat mushrooms anyway but this one tops our list. I... only had red wine on hand so I used beef broth like another reviewer suggested and it was exquisite...just remember to cut back on the salt. I will try it with white wine next time, the taste will be a little tangier I bet. I also used dried thyme. Thank you Michael!Read more

I'm confused..
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

did everyone use the minced garlic and find it disgustingly overpowering? i thought for sure i misread the 1t for 1T. if i... were to try this again i would definitely use fresh garlic! Read more

very good on their own
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When I read the comments it said to trust the high heat. I did and it caught my stove on fire!! My husband freaked out, but... in the end he and my son said that despite the fire they were great!! Any help on how to NOT catch my stove on fire next time would be appreciated!!Read more

WOW, these are FANTASTIC mushrooms!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for a mushroom recipe that could come close to this great steakhouse near me, and WOW, I was astonished on how... good these were! My wife does not want to go to the restaurant anymore, and has now instructed me to make all the ribeye steaks in the future! Give this recipe a try... not hard and what a layering of flavors. You will not be let down!Read more
