Should I wash mushrooms before cooking them?

Yes but do it briefly and pat them dry before adding them to the skillet. Button mushrooms can be wiped with a paper towel only if they are already fairly clean.

What’s the best pan to use for sautéed mushrooms?

A wide skillet or sauté pan works best. It gives the mushrooms enough space to cook evenly and achieve that beautiful golden brown color.

Why didn’t my mushrooms caramelize?

They likely needed more time or higher heat. Let them sit undisturbed for a bit so they can brown before stirring.

Yes you can but it will not taste exactly the same. You can substitute with non alcoholic wine or chicken broth, or even a splash of water with a little lemon juice for acidity.

Other than parsley, what other herbs go well with sauteed mushrooms?

Thyme, rosemary, oregano, and chives are also delicious with sauteed mushrooms.

Instructions

Melt the butter and oil. In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted, swirl it around so it combines with the oil and coats the surface of the skillet evenly.
Cook the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms and garlic and saute for about 7-10 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown and caramelized.
Deglaze the skillet. Add the wine and stir well to deglaze the bottom of the skillet, scraping the golden bits if there are any.
Serve. Turn the heat off and add the parsley. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the sauteed mushrooms to a serving plate and serve.

Notes

Storage: Save the leftovers in a storage container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
