Recipe - Quick And Easy Balsamic Mushrooms With Basil

These mushrooms can’t be easier to make. You only need 15 minutes!The only prep work that you have to do is to chop the garlic and mushrooms. Once that’s done, it takes less than 15 minutes to make the dish.

The sauce is what gives the mushrooms that robust flavor. It consists of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha and brown sugar.The balsamic vinegar is absolutely irreplaceable here. Do not replace it with any other vinegar.

You can replace the soy sauce with tamari if you want to make this gluten-free.I use a lot of garlic in this recipe, it goes really well with the mushrooms and of course some fresh basil for that amazing aroma is must.You can eat this balsamic mushrooms with rice.

Or you can also put them on a toast or make bruschetta with it.I think bruschetta will be really good with these, I am definitely trying it the next time I make these mushrooms.

1.5 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sriracha or to taste

* Add the black pepper and stir well.

* Cook for a minute and then turn off the heat. Stir in the basil.
