Ingredients

4 large portabella mushrooms cleaned and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves minced
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey optional, for added sweetness
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp cloth, removing any dirt. Slice into thick strips for even cooking.
Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring to allow them to brown.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.
Deglaze with Balsamic: Pour in the balsamic vinegar and add honey if desired. Stir to coat the mushrooms, letting the glaze thicken slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, and enjoy warm.

Notes

This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats, pasta, or crusty bread.
For a vegan option, replace butter with vegan butter or extra olive oil.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated, but fresh is always best!
