    STEP 1: Clean the mushrooms. Heat some olive oil in a cast iron skillet and pan-fry the bottom mushrooms on high heat until browned. This will take about 5 minutes.

    STEP 2: Cut the garlic into medium-sized chunks (see pictures) and add them to the balsamic vinegar. 

    STEP 3: Add the balsamic vinegar and garlic mixture to the mushrooms. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. The balsamic vinegar should thicken considerably until it reaches the consistency of maple syrup. 

    STEP 4: Finely chop the parsley. Sprinkle the mushrooms with the chopped parsley.

    Recipe Notes and Variations

    • The balsamic marinated mushrooms are also great with a teaspoon dried rosemary sprinkled on top. 
    • If you want you could also add some red pepper flakes on top for an extra boost of spiciness. 
    • There is no need to add salt because the balsamic vinegar provides enough flavor. If you still want to add a bit of saltiness, I recommend adding a teaspoon of soy sauce to the balsamic garlic mixture. 
    • Always make sure to use hight heat to cook whole mushrooms, so they don’t become soggy.

    How To Serve These Balsamic Mushrooms: 

    There are many delicious ways to serve these balsamic marinated mushrooms. They’re great for BBQs and they also make a great side dish!

    • with mashed potatoes
