Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound mushrooms sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or broth optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them.
  • Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

Heat the Pan:

  • Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Sauté the Onions:

  • Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and begin to caramelize.

Add the Mushrooms:

  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

Add the Garlic and Thyme:

  • Stir in the minced garlic and thyme leaves. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Deglaze the Pan (Optional):

  • If using, pour in the white wine or broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the liquid cook off for about 2-3 minutes.

Season:

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Finish and Serve:

  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
  • Serve immediately as a side dish or a topping for steaks, burgers, chicken, or other dishes.
