Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini, button, or a mix) about 225g
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, chopped
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar or soy sauce

Method
 

  1. Clean the mushrooms: Gently wipe them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water as they can absorb moisture, leading to sogginess.
  2. Slice the mushrooms: Cut them into even slices, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
  3. Prepare the onion: Peel and cut it in half, then slice it into thin, even strips. Aim for a thickness similar to the mushrooms.
  4. Mince the garlic: Use a garlic press or finely chop the garlic cloves.
