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
- 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

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

Finish off with seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.
Pour white wine and give it a quick stir.

Serve immediately with your meal.
