Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1 1/2 pounds small white mushrooms, halved
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/4 cup dry red or white wine (or water)

Steps:

1 In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter with the oil. Add the shallot; cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium. Add the mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the mushrooms release their liquid, 5 to 6 minutes.
Uncover; raise the heat to high. Cook, tossing, until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the thyme and wine (or water). Cook until the skillet is almost dry, 1 minute. Serve hot.
