Cooking Method

• Cooking Method:

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Begin by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. Halve the larger mushrooms for even cooking.

  3. 

     Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet, cooking it for about 1 minute until it's fragrant but not burnt.

  4. Add Mushrooms: Toss the mushrooms into the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic butter mixture.

  5. Season the Mushrooms: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and thyme leaves over the mushrooms. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley. If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Nutritious Value and Pairings

Garlic Butter Mushrooms not only delight the senses but also pack a nutritious punch. Mushrooms are an excellent source of B vitamins, selenium, and antioxidants, contributing to overall health. The garlic butter sauce adds to the dish's richness but can be adjusted for lighter options.

To complement the savory flavors of Garlic Butter Mushrooms, consider pairing them with a crusty baguette or serving them atop a juicy steak. For a balanced meal, serve alongside a fresh green salad with a vinaigrette dressing. When it comes to drinks, a crisp Chardonnay or a light-bodied Pinot Noir would beautifully enhance the earthy tones of the mushrooms.
