Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 1 lb. mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster)
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. thyme (fresh or dried)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by rinsing them under cold water, patting them dry, and slicing them into even, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery; cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Pour in broth, add thyme, salt, and pepper, and let simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm over creamy polenta or with crusty bread.

Notes

Allowing the mushrooms to brown properly enhances their flavor dramatically, bringing delightful aromas that make your kitchen feel inviting.
