Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small shallot, minced

1 1/2 pounds small white mushrooms, halved

Coarse season and ground pepper

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced

1/4 cup dry red or white wine, or water

Preparation

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes.

Raise heat to medium. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until mushrooms release their liquid, 5 to 6 minutes.

Uncover; raise heat to high. Cook, tossing, until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add thyme and wine or water. Cook until skillet is almost dry, 1 minute. Serve hot.
