Ingredients

• 450 grams button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them quickly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. For larger mushrooms, slice them in half or into quarters; leave smaller mushrooms whole.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and bubble slightly, but do not let it brown.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the pan. Spread them out into a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to get a nice sear on one side.

Step 4

Stir the mushrooms and continue to sauté them for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Drizzle the balsamic vinegar evenly over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the balsamic vinegar reduces slightly and becomes sticky.

Step 7

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or topping.
