Quick and straightforward—use this method for any variety of mushroom or several types combined. Add oyster mushrooms or cremini (similar to the white button mushroom but with a brown cap), if available. Serve the mushrooms as a side dish, over sliced steak, over pasta, in a sandwich, or as an omelet filling.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ pound white button mushrooms, wiped clean and thickly sliced
  • 6 <

Method

  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Sauté the mushrooms, tossing occasionally, for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes longer. Add the wine, parsley, and thyme. Toss briefly and serve.
