Equipment
- Large skillet / frying pan
Instructions
- Rinse the mushrooms quickly under running water, then immediately pat them dry with paper towel. It’s good to do this in small batches so they don’t have time to soak up too much water (the water isn’t a problem but it will take them longer to cook).
- Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
- Add just a dash of the oil to a pan over medium-high heat and swirl it around. Let it heat for a minute or so, then add the mushrooms.
- Cook, stirring often, until they release their water. Add the remaining oil and stir it through.Note: The oil is helpful for getting the golden colour on the mushrooms but isn't added until this stage so it doesn't get immediately absorbed by the mushrooms.
- Continue cooking until the liquid has almost all evaporated and they’re golden all over.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan and add the butter. Let it melt.
- Add the thyme and garlic to the middle of the pan in the butter and let it cook for 1-2 minutes moving it around a little, then stir it through the mushrooms.
- Add the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck on bits of flavour.
- Add the cream and stir well to combine. Let it come to a simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced and coating the mushrooms nicely.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve.
