Method

Wash and trim the mushrooms and slice any that seem too large. Heat the oil in a shallow saucepan and, when hot, add the crushed garlic, the fresh thyme leaves (removed from their stalks) and the lemon juice. Cook for 2-4 minutes over medium heat.

Add the washed mushrooms to the pan and sauté gently for 15 minutes until cooked through. Season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Remove from the pan and serve either hot or cold in individual terracotta dishes sprinkled with fresh thyme leaves.
