Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large caps portabella mushrooms
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Slice them into thin, even strips about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings or half-rings, depending on your preference.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour the balsamic vinegar into the skillet, stirring to coat the mushrooms and onions evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the vinegar slightly reduces and the mixture becomes glossy.
If using fresh thyme, sprinkle it over the mixture and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the topping cool slightly before serving it warm over your favorite hamburger.
