🌿 Ingredients:
- 500g (about 1 lb) whole mushrooms, cleaned
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional but adds depth)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Heat olive oil and vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds — just until fragrant.
- Toss in the mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and slightly caramelized.
- Stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, cooking for another minute so everything gets coated in that rich, glossy sauce.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
💫 Serving Ideas:
- Serve as a side with pasta, mashed potatoes, or tofu steaks.
- Add them to toast for a quick, savory snack.
- Toss them into grain bowls or salads for extra flavor.
✨ Tip: Want an extra punch? Add a pinch of chili flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end.
Warm, buttery, garlicky — and unbelievably good every single time. This is one of those vegan dishes that proves simple really is best. 💚
