Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 4 tbsp Olive oil, divided
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 packet (1 oz) Ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup Chicken broth
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Butter (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
- Wipe the mushrooms clean using a damp paper towel and slice them to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and sear them for 2 minutes without stirring. Then, stir and cook until they are tender and moisture has been released, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes softened and translucent, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Incorporate the ranch seasoning mix into the skillet with the onions and garlic, stirring well to coat. Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet by scraping up the browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
- Lower the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and stir to coat them with the ranch sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, stir in the butter for extra richness. Let it simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot as a side dish, over pasta, rice, or as a topping.
