Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 3 cups Crimini Mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 5 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 8 cloves Garlic minced
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Fresh Herbs optional: Parsley, thyme, or rosemary for garnish
- 1 splash soy
Instructions
- Clean the Mushrooms: Gently clean the crimini mushrooms with a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water as they absorb moisture and can become soggy.
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and unsalted butter.
- Sauté the Garlic: Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the Mushrooms: Add the sliced crimini mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to allow them to brown.
- Season the Mushrooms: Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then stir the mushrooms to ensure even cooking. Continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
