Description

These sautéed mushrooms are the perfect side dish—quick, flavorful, and easy to make. With a combination of butter, garlic, and herbs, these tender mushrooms are enhanced with a splash of white wine and Worcestershire sauce, making them an irresistible addition to any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 lb mushrooms (sliced, can use cremini, button, or a mix)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons white wine (or broth)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  • Cook Mushrooms:
    Heat 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.

  • Add Aromatics:
    Reduce heat to medium and stir in the 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

  • Deglaze:
    Add 3 tablespoons white wine (or broth) and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 3–5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and mix well.

  • Finish:
    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fresh parsley. Stir until the butter is melted and the mushrooms are glossy. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ingredient Notes:

    • Use cremini, button, or a mix of mushrooms.
    • Use both oil and butter for flavor and browning.
    • Choose dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) or substitute with broth.
    • For a vegetarian version, swap Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce.
  • Recipe Tips:

    • Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming the mushrooms.
    • Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed for better browning.
    • Add salt early in the process to draw out moisture, and taste before adjusting seasoning.
    • If using fresh herbs instead of dried, use double the amount.
  • Storage Tips:

    • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container within 2 hours for up to 1 day.
    • Reheat: Heat in a skillet, adding butter or broth as needed, and bring to a temperature of at least 165°F before serving.
