- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 lb white or cremini mushrooms sliced
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar optional, for a rich depth of flavor
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for a smoky undertone
Begin by gathering and preparing all your ingredients. Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic. Having everything ready will make the cooking process seamless and enjoyable.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Watch the butter as it starts to foam slightly. This indicates it’s ready.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir them gently, ensuring they are coated in the melted butter. Allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes. They should start to brown nicely and release their moisture.
Once the mushrooms are golden brown, add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir and cook for an additional minute. You will smell the aroma filling your kitchen.
Next, pour in the Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mushrooms. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add any optional seasonings at this point.
Once the mushrooms are fully cooked and coated in sauce, remove them from heat. Garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve them warm a
- Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms have better flavor than canned or frozen ones. Choose firm, plump varieties.
- Don’t Crowd the Pan: Overcrowding can steam the mushrooms instead of browning them. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Add a Splash of Wine: For an elevated flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine after cooking the garlic. It adds acidity and complexity.
- Control the Heat: Keep an eye on the heat level. Too high and the butter will burn; too low, and the mushrooms won’t brown.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Don’t hesitate to try different herbs or spices. Thyme or even a bit of cayenne pepper can add delightful variations.
