Ingredients:

• 3–4 king oyster mushrooms
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Prep the mushrooms: Slice the king oyster mushrooms lengthwise into thick strips.
2. Heat the pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Let the butter melt.
3. Cook garlic: Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
4. Add mushrooms: Place the mushroom slices in the pan in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
5. Season: Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently so the mushrooms absorb the garlic butter.
6. Finish: Optional—add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
7. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve as a side dish, over pasta, or with crusty bread.
