Sautéed Mushrooms

Ingrédients

• 16 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
• 1/4 cup chopped shallot
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• chopped fresh parsley or fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Préparation

1. 1

   Rinse the mushrooms under cold water and immediately pat them dry with a paper towel. Pull out the stems and then slice the mushrooms.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until they start to soften and brown. Don't stir them too often, as you want them to get a nice golden sear on the sides for maximum flavor.

3. 3

   Add the chopped shallot and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.

4. 4

   Add the garlic and balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.
