Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping off any dirt with a damp paper towel. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir continuously for 1 minute to prevent burning.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle in the dried oregano and thyme. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the balsamic vinegar thickens slightly and glazes the mushrooms.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir one final time to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or over your favorite grain, pasta, or protein.
