Butter Braised Mushrooms Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mushrooms

   Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Trim the stems if necessary and leave them whole or halved depending on their size.

2. 2

   Melt the Butter

   In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it starts to foam.

3. 3

   Sauté the Garlic

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. 4

   Cook the Mushrooms

   Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the butter and garlic mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they start to brown.

5. 5

   Add the Broth and Thyme

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the fresh thyme leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer.

6. 6

   Braised to Perfection

   Reduce the heat and let the mushrooms braise in the broth for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and the broth has reduced slightly.

7. 7

   Finish with Parmesan

   Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or over pasta, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
