Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound whole small button mushrooms fresh
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Start by cleaning your mushrooms. Rinse them gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary, leaving the mushrooms whole for a beautiful presentation. Mince the garlic and chop the thyme and tarragon.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up but not smoke—it should shimmer slightly.
  • Add the whole button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and release their juices.
  • Once the mushrooms are golden brown, add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and tarragon. Continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burnt.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and season your mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a good stir to combine.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Chopping Board
  • Knife

Notes

  • These mushrooms are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to use dried herbs if fresh isn’t available, just reduce the quantity.
  • To avoid bitterness, be sure to add the garlic after the mushrooms have started browning.
