Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 16 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, without stirring, for about 2 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until the mushrooms are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. (Any mushroom would work for this side dish recipe. You could even use a mixture of different mushrooms. Make this a vegan recipe by simply using vegan butter.)
3. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and remaining butter. Cook for 30 seconds. 
4. Pour in the balsamic vinegar mixture and cook until it thickens and coats the mushrooms, about 1 minute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
