Fried Mushrooms

1 lb. of mushroom (I used a mix of wild mushrooms found at a local farmers market)
2 T of olive oil
2 T of butter
2 cloves of garlic sliced thinly
4 sprigs of thyme or lemon thyme
salt and pepper

Melt butter and oil together in a medium sized skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter melts into the oil, place in the remaining ingredients. Season to taste. Allow for the mushrooms to cook very slowly. This process may take upwards of 20 minutes depending on the size of the mushrooms. When the mushrooms are golden, remove from oil. These can be used a small delicious side or a topping to salads or sandwiches.
