Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the onion and slice it thinly into half-moons. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into even pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir them with the onions to combine. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the onions and mushrooms. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or topping.
