Ingredients

  • 12-16 oz fresh mushrooms (we prefer assorted varieties but you can easily use your favorite type)
  • 4-5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3-5 cloves garlic, minced (depends on how garlicky you like your dishes)
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • Optional Garnish - fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic in a large skillet over medium heat
  • Stir constantly to prevent garlic from burning. Once garlic is fragrant (about 45-60 seconds), add the mushrooms and dried thyme
  • Increase the heat slightly to medium-high, drizzle with another 1 tbsp olive oil and saute the mushrooms for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally
  • Note - keep an eye on the pan and add more olive oil (about 1 tbsp at a time) as the mushrooms absorb the liquid. If you pan is dry, the mushrooms will stick and burn. Add it slowly though as you don't want to over saturate your mushrooms
  • Once your mushrooms begin to soften, add black pepper and stir to combine. Saute for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add white wine (be sure heat is at medium-high) and allow to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until white wine is reduced by about half.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately. Ganrish with fresh thyme if desired.
