Garlic Balsamic Mushrooms
Nobody’s going to be able to resist these sticky saucy garlic balsamic mushrooms. They have that perfect ‘umami’ flavour thats so hard to describe and even harder to beat. Mushrooms are one of my favourite vegetables to eat and cook with. No matter how simple or complicated the recipe, they never fail to please. These are extremely easy to put together. The hardest part is cleaning the mushrooms and getting rid of all the grime. Which is best done by wiping them with a paper towel. Then all you have to do is saute them with garlic and add all the ingredients for the sauce – balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and a little dried rosemary.
What goes into Garlic Balsamic Sauce?
The garlic balsamic sauce in which these mushrooms are tossed is incredibly simple. It’s a simple mix of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and rosemary. There is no need to add salt or water because mushrooms will leave some water as they cook, and both balsamic vinegar and soy sauce have enough salt to flavour the mushrooms. The trick to cooking whole mushrooms is to cook them on high heat without moving them around too much in the first few minutes. This way they roast in the pan and don’t get soggy.
