Sautéed Button Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 6 tbsps Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 lbs whole small button mushrooms, wiped clean
• 3 tbsps butter
• gray sea salt
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 1/2 tsps fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 2 tbsps lemon juice
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley leaves

Directions

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms. Do not move the mushrooms until they have caramelized on the bottom. If you toss them too soon, they will release their liquid and begin to steam. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss them and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add the butter. Cook and toss for 5 minutes, until beautifully browned.
• Season with salt and add the garlic. Saute another 2 minutes, and add the thyme, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook to evaporate the liquid.
• Toss in the parsley and serve immediately.
