Recipe and photo by Chiarello, Host of "Easy entertaining with Michael Chiarello" on the Food Network.
These mushrooms are so incredibly delicious!! This
is my "go-to" recipe for both special occasions and dinner parties.
These caramelized mushrooms are great served with steak, prime rib,
and even on their own as a vegetable side dish.

Michael's Best Button Mushrooms Recipe
Recipe Type:
Appetizer,
Mushrooms,
Vegetables,
Vegetarian
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil
1-1/2 pounds whole small button mushrooms, cleaned
3 tablespoons butter
Sea
salt or coarse salt
1 tablespoon minced
garlic
1-1/2 teaspoons fresh-chopped thyme leaves
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed
lemon juice
1/2 cup white
wine
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
Preparation:
How To Clean Mushrooms: Mushrooms are
extremely porous and soak up water like a sponge. This is because they are
mostly water; never soak fresh mushrooms. Use a soft mushroom brush and simply
brush away any clinging medium rather than washing with water. You may also wipe
them with a damp paper towel. There is no need to peel mushrooms.
In a large skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil.
When the
olive oil is hot, sprinkle the mushrooms in a single layer on the olive
oil.
NOTE: Do not move or stir the mushrooms until they have
caramelized on the bottom, approximately 2 minutes. If you toss them too
soon, they will release their liquid and begin to steam. When the
bottoms are caramelized, toss them and continue to cook for
approximately 5 minutes.
Add the butter and continue to cook and toss for and additional 3 to 5
minutes, until beautifully browned. Season with salt and pepper and add
the garlic; sauté another 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add thyme
leaves, lemon juice, and white wine. simmer to evaporate the liquid and
until the mushrooms are glazed with the sauce.
Toss in the parsley, transfer to a warm bowl, and serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
