Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms:
- 1 pound (454 grams) fresh mushrooms, sliced
Fats and Oils:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons or 56 grams) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) soy sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Melt butter and olive oil together in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, creating a golden cooking base.
- Introduce minced garlic to the pan, allowing it to release its aromatic essence for approximately 60 seconds without burning.
- Gently tumble sliced mushrooms into the skillet, ensuring each piece gets coated with the fragrant oil mixture.
- Allow mushrooms to sizzle and caramelize, stirring intermittently for 5-7 minutes until they develop a rich, golden-brown exterior and become tender.
- Splash lemon juice and soy sauce over the mushrooms, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, letting the liquid condense and intensify the mushrooms’ savory characteristics.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the top for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Transfer immediately to a serving dish and enjoy while piping hot, capturing the peak of flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use butter and olive oil combo for rich, deep flavor profile that prevents burning and adds complexity.
- Select fresh, firm mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for best texture and most intense umami taste.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning and prevent steaming instead of sautéing mushrooms.
- Control heat carefully to develop golden-brown caramelization without scorching garlic or burning butter.
