Broccoli with Mushrooms

Sometimes I get bored with the same old vegetable sides that we always have and I try to change things up.  I'll search the internet to try to find something new, or I'll just look in the fridge or pantry for some inspiration and throw something together.  Not gonna lie--sometimes they turn out well and sometimes they do not.  I've never made anything awful or inedible, but there are definitely creations that do not inspire repeated attempts.  This broccoli, however, is not one of those.  This is one of the winners.  I honestly kind of thought it was a fluke the first time, but I keep making it and it keeps tasting great so it is definitely a keeper!  The simple seasonings help the dish have a classic feel while the white wine gives it a subtle complexity that belies the recipes simplicity.

Broccoli with Mushrooms

Number of Servings: 4-6
Time to Prepare: 15 minutes

• 3 Tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• 3 Tbsp white wine
• 6 cups steamed broccoli

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes.  Add the mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes.  As the mushrooms begin to soften, add thyme and season generously with salt and pepper.  Continue cooking until most of the liquid has been cooked out of the mushrooms.  Add the white wine, cooking and stirring until the mushrooms are browned.  Stir in the steamed broccoli and serve warm.
