Garlic and thyme mushrooms are a delightful and easy-to-make side dish or appetizer, perfect for any meal. The earthy mushrooms are perfectly complemented by the aromatic garlic and fresh thyme, while crumbled feta cheese adds a tangy finish. Here's how to prepare this simple yet flavorful dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the fresh thyme leaves.
- Crumble the feta cheese if not pre-crumbled.
- Place a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the heated olive oil in the pan.
- Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and release their moisture.
- Once the mushrooms are browned, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Stir in the chopped fresh thyme and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the mushrooms.
- Stir gently to combine and allow the feta to soften slightly from the residual heat.
- Serve the garlic and thyme mushrooms immediately as a side dish, topping for toast, or as part of a main course.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves for an extra touch of flavor.
Tips:
- Choose Your Mushrooms: Select fresh mushrooms that are firm and white. You can use button mushrooms, cremini, or a mix of different types for added texture and flavor.
- Prep the Ingredients: Make sure to finely chop the garlic and thyme for even distribution. Also, crumble the feta cheese in advance for ease of use.
- Optimal Cooking Heat: Cook the mushrooms over medium-high heat to ensure they get a nice sear and do not become soggy.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: To ensure even cooking and browning, cook the mushrooms in batches if needed. Overcrowding will cause them to steam rather than sear.
By following these steps and tips, you’ll have a delicious plate of garlic and thyme mushrooms ready to be served. This dish can be enjoyed warm as a side or even tossed into a salad for added flavor. Bon appétit!
