Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Mushrooms (button or cremini, quartered)
- 1 spray Olive oil spray (or 1 tsp olive oil)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and trim the stems if needed. Quarter each mushroom to create chunky pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil (or use 1 tsp olive oil if desired).
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the balsamic vinegar and low-sodium soy sauce. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces slightly and forms a glossy coating on the mushrooms.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or a topping for grilled meats, pasta, or salads.
