Description

These sautéed mushrooms with garlic are rich, buttery, and full of savory umami flavor. A splash of soy sauce and apple cider vinegar adds brightness and depth, while thyme and parsley bring a fragrant finish. It’s a quick, versatile side dish that goes with almost anything!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• ½ to 1 pound mushrooms (white, cremini, or mixed), cleaned and sliced
• 1–2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat the pan: Warm butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.
2. Sauté garlic: Add the chopped garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, just until fragrant.
3. Add mushrooms: Stir in the mushrooms and sauté for 4–5 minutes, until they release moisture and turn golden brown.
4. Season and deglaze: Add soy sauce and apple cider vinegar. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
5. Add herbs: Sprinkle in dried thyme and sauté for 1 more minute.
6. Finish: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
