Steps

1
Clean the mushrooms with a pastry brush and trim the ends. Slice into 1 cm pieces.
2
Heat a cast iron pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms in batches to avoid overcrowding, drizzle with a small amount of water and cook until it evaporates.
3
Repeat the water and cook-down process, two more times until the mushrooms are deeply browned and fully cooked. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the butter and cook until the flavours have infused. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

1
Use a pastry brush to gently clean your mushrooms. Trim the mushroom stems as needed.
2
Place whole mushrooms on a lined baking tray along with whole garlic cloves and sprigs of fresh thyme. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3
Wrap the mushrooms in the baking paper to create a sealed parcel, then cover with foil. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and infused with flavour.

1
Use your finished mushrooms on toast, tossed through pasta, or stirred into risotto.
2
Avoid rinsing your mushrooms with water.
3
If you are not using your fresh mushrooms straight away, cover them in paper towel and store them in an air tight container

...And that's it, enjoy!
