Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pound of mushrooms, sliced
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
Special equipment needed:
- Large skillet
- Wooden spoon
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns a golden brown color and gives off a nutty aroma, stirring occasionally. This is called beurre noisette.
2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir to coat them in the garlic butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
