    Add salt and pepper, this will release more of the moisture.

    Add butter (to caramelize the brown bits on the pan), along with a few sprigs of thyme and a crushed clove of garlic.

    Keep the heat high so the water from the mushrooms keeps evaporating.

    Once the water is evaporated, remove them from the heat.
