Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 120 milliliters Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the ends of the stems if necessary, and cut any larger mushrooms in half to ensure even cooking.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is hot.
3. Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes to allow them to develop a golden-brown sear.
4. Stir the mushrooms gently and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are evenly browned and softened.
5. Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
6. Pour in the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and chicken (or vegetable) stock. Stir well to coat the mushrooms in the sauce.
7. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and the mushrooms are tender.
8. Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir and cook for 1 more minute.
9. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley.
10. Serve immediately as a side dish or use as a topping for steak, pasta, or rice. Enjoy your Saucy Skillet Mushrooms!
