I’m a firm believer that mushrooms deserve more attention. They’re a simple side that can transform basics like roast chicken or broiled steaks into a swoon-worthy meal. But watch out: These sautéed mushrooms, dressed in an herby garlic butter, will steal the show from anything else on your plate.
Herby Garlic Butter Is Here for Mushrooms
Basic garlic butter is built on two (very obvious) ingredients: fresh minced garlic and melted butter. But the addition of fresh herbs really make this simple sauté of mushrooms feel like a complete side. You can use any combination of herbs you’ve got on hand, but a mix of rosemary, thyme, and chives is my personal favorite.
To ensure the mushrooms caramelize and don’t steam as they let off moisture, cook them in the widest pan you have.
