  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup white wine or chicken broth
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Add the 1 tablespoon of butter and the oil to a large skillet over medium heat and heat until the butter has melted.

  • Add the garlic and thyme and saute 1 minute.
  • Add the mushrooms and saute until they start to caramelized and turn golden brown in color, 10-15 minutes.

  • Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
