Before this Garlic Thyme Mushrooms Recipe I never thought much of mushrooms. I would throw them in stir fry’s, stews, or on salads but they never had this kind of flavor! Now I make them all the time.
This Garlic Thyme Mushrooms recipe is so easy and only needs 4 ingredients: Butter, Garlic, Thyme, and Mushrooms. After cleaning and quartering, or slicing, the mushrooms you sauté them in a big pan with butter and oil. Once they have browned, you throw in the garlic and thyme at the last minute and voila! Your done!
Mushroom cleaning tip: Don’t rinse mushrooms under water. Mushrooms are very porous and will soak in moisture which can make them mushy. Instead take a wet paper towel and WIPE them clean. Yes this is tedious but trust me, it makes a difference!
Garlic Tip: Garlic is very easy to burn and will turn bitter once it has. Add the garlic as the last ingredient when cooking any dish to prevent this.
