Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1 lb white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Spices & Seasonings

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky undertone)

Liquids & Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for a rich depth of flavor)

Others

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Begin by gathering and preparing all your ingredients. Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Melting Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it starts to foam slightly, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
  3. Cooking Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly with butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms brown nicely and release their moisture.
  4. Add Garlic: Once the mushrooms are golden brown, add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma.
  5. Seasoning Mushrooms: Pour in Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle brown sugar over the mushrooms. Stir to combine, then season with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, soy sauce, and any optional seasonings such as balsamic vinegar and smoked paprika.
  6. Finishing: Continue cooking until the mushrooms are fully cooked and coated in the flavorful sauce. Remove from heat and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm for best taste.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms provide better flavor and texture than canned or frozen varieties. Choose firm, plump mushrooms.
  • Don’t Crowd the Pan: Overcrowding causes mushrooms to steam rather than brown. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Add a Splash of Wine: For enhanced flavor, add a splash of white wine after cooking the garlic to introduce acidity and complexity.
  • Control the Heat: Maintain medium heat to avoid burning butter while allowing mushrooms to brown properly.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Try different herbs or spices like thyme or cayenne pepper to create unique flavor variations.
