Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp cloth, removing any dirt. Slice into thick strips for even cooking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.
  5. 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.
  6. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. 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!
