A delightful and easy-to-make side dish featuring mushrooms sautéed in a flavorful garlic herb butter sauce.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt.
Avoid washing mushrooms under running water as they can absorb moisture and become soggy.
Slice the mushrooms into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Try to slice the mushrooms to a similar thickness for even cooking.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until melted and combined.
Using a mix of butter and olive oil prevents the butter from burning.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to allow the mushrooms to brown properly.
Stir in the fresh parsley, basil, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Adding the herbs at the end preserves their fresh flavor.
Serve the mushrooms warm as a side dish or topping for your favorite main course.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
