¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons white wine OR broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Cook mushrooms: Heat oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until softened.

Notes

Ingredient notes

Mushrooms: Cremini, button, or a mix of both.

Oil & butter: Both are used for rich flavor and proper browning.

White wine: Use a dry wine like Sauvignon Blanc or substitute broth.

Worcestershire sauce: Soy sauce can be used for a vegetarian version.

Recipe tips

Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow mushrooms to brown, not steam.

Let mushrooms sit undisturbed for a golden sear.

Season early to draw out moisture.

Double the amount if using fresh herbs instead of dried.

Storage tips

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

Reheat: Warm in a skillet with a splash of broth or butter until hot (165°F).
