Ingredients:

  • 1 TBS. Olive oil
  • 1 TBS. butter
  • 16 ounces (1 lb.) washed sliced mushrooms or whole cut in halves
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 3 med. size garlic cloves smashed and minced or 1 TBS. minced garlic
  • Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on med-high heat.  Drop the mushroom slices or halves.  Add salt and pepper and toss the mushrooms to coat.

Spread in single layer and let cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes.  Then stir or turn them over and cook another 2 minutes without stirring.

Reduce heat to med-low and add butter and garlic.  Cook for 4 minutes stirring frequently until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant and the garlic color turns to faint tan.

Note:  Olive oil is used in the beginning because it can withstand higher heat than butter.  You can also use any kind of vegetable oil. 

You can also add a splash of white wine or sherry if you like.
