Prepration for:Garlic-Herb Sautéed Wild Mushrooms

Step 1/5

Prep the Mushrooms

Clean mushrooms with a damp towel or brush. Avoid washing directly under water to preserve texture. Tear or slice larger pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 2/5

Heat the Pan

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Step 3/5

Sauté

Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it. Add mushrooms and stir gently to coat in oil.

Step 4/5

Season and Cook

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme. Let cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to allow browning, then stir occasionally for another 5–6 minutes until golden and tender.

Step 5/5

Finish

Remove from heat. Toss in parsley and a splash of lemon juice or balsamic for brightness if desired.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Tips: For extra richness, drizzle with truffle oil after cooking. Pairs beautifully with gluten-free toast, polenta, or served over greens. Add cooked lentils or white beans to make it a heartier entrée.
