Description
A playful and rich side dish featuring earthy mushrooms, toasted breadcrumbs, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lb mixed mushrooms, cleaned and roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra for garnish
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp white wine or 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter and olive oil. Let the butter melt and foam slightly.
- Add mushrooms in a single layer, cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a golden sear, then stir.
- Reduce heat to medium, add shallot and garlic, and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in white wine or lemon juice to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits, and reduce the liquid by half.
- In a separate small pan, toast breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of butter until golden and crispy, stirring constantly; fold in lemon zest and thyme.
- Return breadcrumbs to mushroom pan, stir to combine, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for another minute.
- Finish with fresh thyme and an extra drizzle of olive oil just before serving.
