Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms and Vegetables
- 1 lb. Sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 2 tsp. Minced garlic
Sauce and Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Water
- 2 tsp. Brown sugar
- ½ tsp. Salt
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Fats
- 2 Tbsp. Butter
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the fats: In a skillet, warm the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat on the stovetop until melted and shimmering.
- Sauté mushrooms and onions: Add the sliced mushrooms and onion to the skillet. Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a slight browning, then stir and continue sautéing for 6-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are softened.
- Prepare balsamic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, water, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is well combined.
- Add garlic and seasoning: Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper into the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Sauté for an additional minute to release the garlic’s aroma.
- Combine sauce and cook: Lower the heat to low, pour the balsamic sauce over the mushroom mixture, and toss everything together to coat evenly.
- Finish cooking: Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and glaze the mushrooms before serving warm.
Notes
- Use fresh baby bella mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the brown sugar for more or less sweetness depending on preference.
- Serve as a side dish or use as a topping for steaks, chicken, or toasted bread.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Keep an eye on the mushrooms as they cook to avoid burning the garlic.
