Mince the garlic cloves finely. Use the flat side of the knife blade to crush the garlic slightly before mincing.

Crushing garlic helps release its oils, enhancing the flavor. Make sure to keep your fingers tucked in while chopping to avoid cuts.

Minced garlic will cook faster, so it's important to cut it small to avoid burning.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Allow them to cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes to develop a nice golden color.

Letting the mushrooms brown before stirring enhances their flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.

Stir the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender and browned.

Stirring them helps distribute the heat evenly, but be gentle to avoid breaking them apart.

Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Garlic cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent burning. This step enhances the dish's flavor profile.

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving for added freshness.

Fresh herbs can elevate the flavor of any dish. Add them at the end to preserve their bright color and flavor.
