Sautéed Mushrooms With Thyme and Red Wine

Make this mushroom side dish in under 10 minutes. This mushroom and red wine and herb combo is so satisfying. It hits all the flavor notes. Garlic sautéed mushrooms with red wine and thyme are a tasty topping for steak or chicken. They are a delicious way to add mushrooms to a pasta or risotto. There are so many ways to love them. Let’s go saute mushrooms with fresh herbs and wine.

The best red wine and mushrooms combination

The mushrooms. For this recipe, use cremini mushrooms or button mushrooms.

The red wine and mushrooms pairing. Don’t use a sweet red wine, unless you want sweet mushrooms. Go for a dry red wine – try a Pinot Noir or Zinfandel. Any wine you like to drink that isn’t too sweet should work just fine.

Ingredients to make red wine sautéed mushrooms

Beyond mushrooms and red wine, this recipe adds tasty flavors with a little garlic, fresh thyme, and a balsamic glaze (optional).

How to saute mushrooms with thyme and red wine

Step 1. Clean mushrooms. My preference is to use a damp paper towel to gently wash off the dirt so the mushrooms get clean but don’t pick up too much moisture from the water.

 

Allowing mushrooms to stay as dry as possible makes it easier to cook the mushrooms just right. Cut the mushrooms in half.

How To Saute Mushrooms

Step 2. Heat a small to medium pan on the stove to medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic.

Stir for one minute, then add the mushrooms, butter, and thyme (2 tsp of fresh leaves).

Steps To Make Sauteed Mushrooms

Stir regularly for 2-3 minutes until the butter completely melts and the mushrooms begin browning.

Turn heat to medium-low if the mushrooms or garlic start to burn.

Step 3. Add red wine, salt, and pepper to the pan.

steps to adding red wine to mushrooms

Stir regularly for 1-3 minutes until red wine dissolves into mushrooms.

Remove mushrooms from the hot burner and turn off the heat if they begin sticking to the pan.

Serve this tasty mushroom side dish

Plate mushrooms in a serving dish with a nice looking spoon or mini tongs and garnish with the remaining fresh thyme leaves. You could also drizzle them with a little balsamic glaze if you really want to have a good time.

Know what tastes great with these? Red wine caramelized red onions.

Cooking mushrooms with dried thyme

Use dried thyme sparingly if you don’t have fresh thyme. To replace fresh with dried thyme, add 1 tsp dried thyme to the mushrooms when you add the salt and pepper. And don’t garnish the dish with any additional dried thyme. Just skip it. 

Liquids you can cook mushrooms in besides wine

If you’re looking to substitute red wine for a broth or another liquid, here are some options:

  • Beef broth
  • Chicken broth
  • Water mixed with a pinch of dry Italian herbs

Delicious ways to enjoy sauteed mushrooms

  • Add mushrooms to homemade pizza with mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, and fresh basil
  • Make breakfast tacos with eggs and bacon
  • Use as a topping for sous vide NY strip and sous vide chicken
  • Add mushrooms to a creamy pasta dish or risotto
