The secret to mushrooms that are beautifully browned and not watery is taking a hands-off approach. Stirring them as they caramelize releases the mushrooms' liquid and causes them to steam, so leaving them alone is the way to go.
Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
12 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed
-
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
-
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
-
⅓ cup dry white wine
-
Garnish: 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms, cap sides down, without stirring, until caps are caramelized, 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to medium. Toss mushrooms, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until mushrooms are well browned, about 5 minutes more. Add garlic, butter, and thyme. Cook until garlic is golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add wine. Return skillet to heat, and cook until wine is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
