Garlic butter mushrooms

There are so many ways to cook mushrooms and sautéed mushrooms are without doubt one of my favorite side dishes. Mushrooms are like a sponge that absorbs all the flavors that you add to them.

These mushrooms are insanely delicious. Meaty mushrooms sautéed in herb garlic butter sauce gently until it’s golden brown create a rich, umami-flavored dish. You’ll love this easy and delicious side dish that only needs 10 minutes. It’s perfect when served with any protein, especially with pork chops, steak, or roast chicken. Every bite is bursting with garlic butter flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound button mushrooms
  • 4 tablespoons butter (reduce to 2 tablespoons if you are concerned about calories)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ onion, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons white wine (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
all ingredients for sauteed mushrooms
  • Mushrooms – use button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms. You could also use other mushroom varieties like chanterelle, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms. If you can find mushrooms that are about the same size, it’s better. It ensures even browning.
  • Butter – use unsalted butter. The amount of butter you use decided how rich the dish will result in. If you are concerned about calories reduce the amount of butter from 4 tablespoons to 2 tablespoons.
  • Olive oil – I used extra virgin olive oil. Mixing butter and olive oil prevent the butter from burning and turning black.
  • Garlic – if you are a garlic lover feel free to increase the amount of garlic you add to the dish. Garlic enhances the flavor of the dish.
  • White wine – optional but highly recommend you don’t skip it. If you haven’t tasted mushrooms cooked in white wine you are missing out. White wine adds more flavors to earthy, meaty mushrooms.
  • Herbs – while you can use fresh parsley for the dish, I prefer thyme and rosemary. Parsley is tasteless and boring. On the other hand thyme and rosemary has so many flavors.

How to clean mushrooms

Everyone has their own preferred way to clean mushrooms. The way I do it-

With a damp cloth gently wipe each mushroom to get rid of the dirt. I don’t usually rinse, but if you can’t get rid of all dirt by wiping, lightly rinse and pat dry completely.

Rinse it lightly under water and pat dry it completely by wiping it gently with paper towel.

How to make sautéed garlic butter mushrooms

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add olive oil to it.

Saute diced onion and minced garlic in melted butter. Cook for a minute.

Add cleaned mushroom, stir once and cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes. DO NOT STIR mushrooms now. Let it brown.

Finish off with seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.

Pour white wine and give it a quick stir.

Remove sautéed mushrooms from heat, add fresh thyme and rosemary for garnish.

Serve immediately with your meal.

Secret to perfectly browned mushrooms

Follow these tips to get perfectly browned mushrooms when you saute it.

  1. Find mushrooms that are all of the same sizes to ensure even browning.
  2. Don’t soak mushrooms in water, simply wipe them with a damp cloth and rinse lightly if needed and dry completely by wiping off moisture with a paper towel.
  3. Cook mushrooms in large skillet on medium flame.
  4. After you add mushrooms to garlic butter sauce, stir once to coat all mushroom in the sauce. DO NOT STIR afterward while the mushrooms are cooking. This will ensure mushrooms brown evenly.

How to serve garlic butter mushrooms

Mushrooms are perfect when served with any protein, especially with pork chops, steak, or roast chicken. Every bite is bursting with garlic butter flavor.

Have to try serving this sautéed mushrooms over a plate of polenta? It’s yum.

How to store and reheat leftovers

Store leftover mushrooms in airtight containers in the refrigerator. They will stay good for 3-5 days.

To reheat leftover sautéed mushrooms, saute them in a skillet over low heat or in a microwave until warm. If mushrooms turn dry while reheating on stove the top, recommend you add a tablespoon of chicken or vegetable stock while reheating.
