Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth and trim the stems. Leave them whole if they're small or halve them if they are larger.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the oil with the onions and garlic, and allow to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle fresh thyme over the mushroom mixture, then pour in the chicken or vegetable broth.
Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and let the mushrooms braise for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a delicious Whole30 compliant side dish.
