Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs Cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Liquids and Fats

  • 4 tbsp Olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Butter (optional, for extra richness)

Seasonings

  • 1 packet (1 oz) Ranch seasoning mix
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mushrooms and Aromatics: Wipe the cremini mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and slice them to about 1/4 inch thickness. Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves to have all ingredients ready for cooking.
  2. Sear Mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer and sear without stirring for 2 minutes to develop a golden crust. Then stir and continue cooking until the mushrooms become tender and release their moisture, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.
  3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add Ranch Seasoning and Broth: Stir in the ranch seasoning mix to coat the onions and garlic evenly. Pour in the chicken broth and use a spatula to deglaze the skillet by scraping up the browned bits stuck to the bottom. Bring this mixture to a simmer and cook for a few minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce slightly.
  5. Finish with Cream and Mushrooms: Lower the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream to create a rich, creamy sauce. Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and stir everything together so the mushrooms are coated in the ranch cream sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Optionally, stir in the butter for an extra layer of richness. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors well.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the ranch mushrooms with fresh chopped parsley. Serve the dish hot as a delicious side, over pasta, rice, or as a savory topping for your favorite main course.

Notes

  • Use cremini mushrooms for a robust flavor, but white button mushrooms can also be substituted.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when searing mushrooms to get a good caramelization.
  • The butter is optional but adds a lovely richness and smooth texture to the sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Adjust the seasoning and ranch mix amount according to taste preference or dietary needs.
