Ingredients
- 1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp. brown sugar
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter divided
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 lb. cremini mushrooms cleaned, stems trimmed or removed, and quartered
- kosher salt
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and 1 Tbs. water. Set aside.
-
In a 10-inch skillet, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
When butter is melted and the mixture is hot, add the mushrooms and 3/4 tsp. salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mushrooms have absorbed the liquid.
-
Cook mushrooms for another 6-8 minutes, stirring few minutes, until the pan looks dry. Mushrooms will have shrunk and browned.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the remaining butter and garlic. Stir until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add balsamic and brown sugar mixture, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan until the liquid thickens and reduces into a glaze, another 30-60 seconds.
-
Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve warm.
