Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Gently clean the mixed exotic mushrooms using a damp cloth or soft brush to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water, as they can become too soggy.

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics

    Finely chop the shallots and mince the garlic. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Herbs

    Chop the fresh thyme and set aside for later use.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are fragrant and translucent, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

  3. 6

    Add Mushrooms

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cleaned exotic mushrooms to the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.

  4. 7

    Season the Mushrooms

    Sprinkle the chopped thyme, sea salt, and black pepper over the sautéed mushrooms. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

  5. 8

    Finish with Butter and Lemon

    Add the unsalted butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and coat the mushrooms.

Serving

  1. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm as a side dish or over toast.
