Mushrooms

By recepti

Ingredients

• 2 pounds mixed mushrooms (hen of the woods, oyster, shiitake, trumpet royale)
• 4-6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1-2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat about 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add just enough mushrooms to loosely cover the bottom of the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.  Cook for about 2 minutes, then gently turn the mushrooms over as they brown and soften. Add a little chopped shallot and garlic, some butter, and some thyme and parsley. Continue cooking the mushrooms until they are tender, about 2 minutes more, then transfer them to a paper towel. Wipe out the skillet and repeat the process, cooking the mushrooms in small batches. Just before serving, add a bit more butter to the skillet and warm the mushrooms over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
