Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry. Slice or quarter the mushrooms depending on your preference.
- In a medium-sized skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms to the pan. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and start to brown.
- Pour 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar into the pan with the mushrooms. Stir to coat the mushrooms in the vinegar.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. The vinegar should reduce slightly, forming a glaze that coats the mushrooms.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked and well-coated with the balsamic glaze, remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the balsamic mushrooms to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately as a side dish, or use them as a topping for salads, steak, or pasta dishes.
Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth instead of rinsing them under water to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- You can use any type of mushrooms you prefer; button mushrooms, cremini, or portobello all work well.
- For a more intense flavor, let the mushrooms marinate in the balsamic vinegar for a few minutes before cooking.
- Consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
