Ingredients

• 500 grams button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping off any dirt with a damp paper towel. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir continuously for 1 minute to prevent burning.

Step 6

Pour in the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle in the dried oregano and thyme. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the balsamic vinegar thickens slightly and glazes the mushrooms.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir one final time to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or over your favorite grain, pasta, or protein.
