Scale
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 3 cups White Mushrooms, halved
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, minced, divided
- 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Heat Olive Oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat to prepare for sautéing.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic (1 clove) to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic becomes golden and fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Add Mushrooms: Add 3 cups of halved white mushrooms to the pan, stir to coat them evenly with the garlic and olive oil, and sauté until they are tender and browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
- Season and Finish: Stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, a pinch of ground black pepper, and half of the minced fresh parsley; cook for another minute to combine flavors and slightly reduce the vinegar.
- Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact.
- Slicing mushrooms uniformly ensures even cooking.
- If you prefer stronger balsamic flavor, add a splash more at the end.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be added atop salads and toasted bread.
- To keep mushrooms from steaming, avoid overcrowding the pan during sautéing.
