Sauteed Mushrooms

Caramelizing mushrooms brings out their rich deep flavor and makes them a wonderful add to sauces or beautiful on top of meats and burgers.

First, never put raw mushrooms under running water, simply use a barely damp cloth or soft brush to clean them.  Trim the stems, then slice them about 1/4″ thick.

Sauteed Mushrooms

Heat your saute pan to high and add the olive oil, bringing it to medium-high (just before smoking point) before tossing in your garlic and shallot.  Quickly stir those for a minute until the shallot softens (keep stirring so the garlic doesn’t burn).

Then quickly add the mushrooms and scallion and toss or stir occasionally until the mushrooms are golden brown.  Remove from the heat then add the thyme and butter.  Season with salt & pepper to taste.
