Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel and slice them thinly.
Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moon shapes.
Mince the garlic cloves.

Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.

Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mixture and stir well. Cook for an additional 1 minute to let the flavors meld.
