Ingredients

1 pound oyster mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 to 3 tablespoons microgreens or chopped parsley

Instructions

Wipe any excess dirt off the mushrooms. Cut the stems off the mushrooms (discard them or save them for stock). Cut the mushrooms into bite-size pieces.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and thyme and sauté for 1 minute.
Add the mushrooms and spread them out in a single layer. Sauté them for 2 minutes and then flip each mushroom over and sauté for an additional minute or until golden brown.
Transfer them to a serving plate and top with sea salt and microgreens or herbs. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking Tips - Make sure not to overcook the mushrooms. Watch them while they're cooking, if they start to release a lot of water, pull them off the heat. When mushrooms are overcooked and begin losing their water they will become tough and rubbery.

Storing Tips - This recipe unfortunately does not keep very well in the refrigerator. After mushrooms are cooked, they are best served immediately.
