Ingredients:

– 1 pound of fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 2 tablespoons of butter
– 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Using a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush, gently wipe away any dirt from the mushrooms. Trim the stems if needed and slice them into even pieces.

2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. It’s important not to overcrowd the pan to ensure they cook evenly. Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for a few minutes to allow them to brown.

4. Stir the mushrooms and continue sautéing until they are golden brown and have released their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the mushrooms, stirring gently to combine all the flavors. Let the mushrooms simmer for another few minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the mushrooms beautifully.

6. Once the mushrooms are cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

7. Serve the mushrooms hot as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite proteins like grilled steak or roasted chicken. They can also be enjoyed spooned over creamy polenta, tossed with pasta, or as a tasty topping for crusty bread.
