BUTTON MUSHROOMS
WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR
 Taken From: Williams-Sonoma catalog for cooks, July 1986.

 

1 pound sliced mushrooms

1/3 cup olive oil

3 cloves chopped garlic

2 or 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

3 tablespoons dry white wine

Heat olive oil in a skillet, add chopped garlic and gently cook for 1 minute.

Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring and tossing.

Add Balsamic vinegar and dry white wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.

Serving Ideas: Serve with crusty French bread to sop up the gravy.
Comments: I serve this as an appetizer prior to a meal or as a light supper for two.

You should adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to taste. I often use more than 3 tablespoons.

I use a mushroom slicer, sold at cooks stores, to reduce the preparation time. A mushroom slicer looks like an egg slicer except it has an indentation for the stem. I originally tried an egg slicer but it didn't work well as the wires weren't strong enough.
