Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms (chanterelle, button, or cremini)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh Italian parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup crème fraîche

Instructions

  • With a damp paper towel, wipe off the tops of the mushrooms to remove as much dirt as possible.
  • Cut the mushrooms in half through the stem. If you have smaller mushrooms, you can leave them whole.
  • In a medium sauté pan, over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil.
  • When the butter begins to foam a bit, add the mushrooms and salt. That salt will help release the juices in the mushrooms which is exactly what you want to happen. Stir just a bit to incorporate the ingredients together, and then, cover and sauté until the mushrooms release a good bit of their juices and start to turn a golden brown, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, parsley and pepper. Stir to incorporate and continue to sauté, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes. The mushrooms will start to shine and render more of their juices.
  • Stir in the crème fraîche, turn the heat up to medium high, and cook until the sauce starts to thicken a bit, about 1-2 minutes. It will happen quickly, so don't walk away....or check your phone!
  • Transfer mushrooms and their sauce to a shallow bowl and serve immediately.
