Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
  • 1-1/2 pounds whole small button mushrooms, cleaned*
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Sea salt or coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh-chopped thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh-squeezed
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped fresh
Instructions
  1. 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.

  2. In a large skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil.

  3. 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.

  4. 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; saute 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.

  5. Toss in the parsley, transfer to a warm bowl, and serve immediately.

  6. Makes 4 servings.
