Ingredients

• 450 grams Cremini or white button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or by gently brushing off any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems, and cut larger mushrooms in half to make them roughly uniform in size.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and spread them out in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to allow them to brown on one side.

Step 4

Stir the mushrooms, and continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have released their moisture and are golden brown.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Pour the mixture over the mushrooms in the skillet.

Step 7

Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid reduces to a thick glaze that coats the mushrooms.

Step 8

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Optional: Sprinkle the mushrooms with fresh thyme before serving.

Step 10

Serve the balsamic glazed mushrooms immediately as a side dish or a delicious topping for proteins or grains.
