Ingredients

  • 10 ounces fresh oyster mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme chopped

Instructions

  • Start by cleaning the oyster mushrooms. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water, as they can become soggy. Trim any tough ends and tear or slice the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up but not smoke.
  • Add the oyster mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Once the mushrooms are cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. In the empty space, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic. Let the garlic sauté for about 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Once the garlic is fragrant, mix it with the mushrooms. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and thyme.
  • Transfer the sautéed oyster mushrooms to a serving dish. You can enjoy them on their own, or as a delicious topping for pasta or grilled chicken.
