Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems and slice larger mushrooms in half if needed to ensure even cooking.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside. If using fresh parsley, chop it roughly for garnish.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and begins to bubble.
Add the prepared mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to allow them to brown on one side.
Stir the mushrooms and continue sautéing for an additional 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and tender.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir frequently for 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly.
Allow the mushrooms to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes over low heat, letting the balsamic vinegar reduce slightly into a glaze.
Remove the skillet from the heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or topping for pasta, steak, or toasted bread.
