Button Mushrooms

My recipe for Button Mushrooms appeared first on Sunday Supper Movement, where I am a contributor.

Melt-in-your-mouth button mushrooms are caramelized in butter and olive oil and sautéed with garlic and herbs to make a perfect velvety side for steak or any entrée.

Buttery, herbed mushrooms are the perfect side at your favorite steakhouse, but did you know it only takes 10 minutes to make them yourself at home? They’re a decadent addition to any meal and your family and guests will love them!

What are button mushrooms?

Button mushrooms (or white mushrooms) are the most common variety of mushroom and can be found at most any grocery store or market. Varying in size, button mushrooms can be small or over an inch in diameter. For this recipe, smaller and more uniform in size mushrooms work best because each mushroom will be bite-sized, but all whole button mushrooms will work.

White mushrooms are actually the same variety of mushroom as crimini and portobello. Crimini mushrooms are left to grow a little longer than white mushrooms, giving them their rich color and flavor, while portobellos are grown the longest to become large and dense with a meaty flavor.

How to Prepare Button Mushrooms

To get your mushrooms ready for cooking you’ll need to rinse them, making sure any dirt is cleaned off. Then just pat dry with a paper towel. Make sure the mushrooms are completely dry when you begin cooking because this will help get the edges crispy and will ensure your mushrooms don’t end up soggy.

Button Mushrooms Recipe Ingredients

This quick and easy recipe requires just 8 ingredients:

• 16 oz button mushrooms
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped plus more for optional garnish
• 1 tsp thyme, stems removed
• Salt
• Pepper

How to Cook Button Mushrooms

Cooking up this decadent mushroom recipe could not be easier!

1. Rinse mushrooms to remove any dirt and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim any extra long mushroom stems.
2. Add butter and olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Let heat until butter is melted.
3. Add mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Let mushrooms cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring infrequently to allow mushrooms to brown and caramelize.
5. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, thyme, and parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
6. Toss everything well in the pan, then add to a serving dish, making sure to pour remaining pan drippings over top.
7. Sprinkle with remaining parsley for garnish and serve warm.

Can You Freeze Button Mushrooms?

Fresh mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week but you can also freeze white button mushrooms. Just freezing them raw could result in the mushrooms becoming mushy once thawed but if you sauté them first and then freeze you can put them straight into your recipes from frozen. Use your handy frozen mushrooms for this recipe as well as soups, stews and sauces.

These heavenly button mushrooms are quick and simple to make but pack the flavor. They pair well with any meat and would be perfect with steaks for a special occasion. This recipe would also be tasty during the fall holidays alongside Slow Cooker Stuffing and Classic Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. It will easily become a much requested favorite in your household!
