Instructions:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- Strip the thyme leaves off the stems.
- Spray a large skillet with cooking spray oil and place it over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the skillet. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In the same skillet with the residual bacon fat, add the sliced mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their moisture, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce to the mushrooms and stir well to coat them evenly.
- Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld.
- Add the chopped bacon back into the skillet with the mushrooms.
- Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the mushrooms with herbs and bacon immediately.
Tips:
- To get the crispiest bacon, cook it slowly over medium heat and drain the excess fat on paper towels.
- For a vegetarian version, you can substitute bacon with smoked tofu or omit it entirely and focus on enhancing the mushroom-herb flavors.
- Feel free to add garlic or onion for an extra layer of flavor.
- Use fresh herbs whenever possible; they add a vibrant freshness that dried herbs can't replicate.
- Don't overcrowd the mushrooms in the pan to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a nice sear.
