Ingredients

• 12 pieces Button mushrooms (whole, stemmed)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and remove their stems. Set aside the caps for marinating.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Add the mushroom caps to the bowl and gently toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mushrooms marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.

Step 5

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of olive oil if needed.

Step 6

Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and place them cap-side down on the skillet or grill pan.

Step 7

Cook the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Avoid overcrowding the pan by cooking in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a serving platter and optionally drizzle with any remaining marinade that has been heated to a boil for safety.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or side dish. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
