Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps portabella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills with a spoon if desired.
2. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside. Chop the fresh parsley for garnishing.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Swirl the oil to coat the pan evenly.
4. Place the portabella mushrooms in the skillet, cap side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the caps are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
5. Flip the mushrooms gently and add the minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, occasionally spooning the oil over the mushrooms to keep them moist.
6. Add balsamic vinegar to the pan and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors.
7. Stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated, creating a silky sauce.
8. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle the pan drippings over the mushrooms.
9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pan Roasted Portabellas as a side dish or over a bed of greens for a satisfying meal.
