If I can add mushrooms to desserts, I wouldn’t hesitate a second! When cooked right, they are so delicous & tender; almost like meat.

This mushroom dish is one of those side dishes that really steals the show. It is so flavorful, prepared in less than 15 minutes & goes perfectly with any grilled chicken/beef or mashed potato.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 500 gm mushroom quartered مشروم
• 1/2 cup stock مرقة
• 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar خل بلسميك
• 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 garlic clove minced ثوم
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme زعتر
• 1 tbsp chives minced (optional) ثوم معمر
• salt & pepper

Directions:

• Heat a large pan over high heat until HOT. Add the olive oil & cook the mushrooms on all sides until golden. Don’t keep stirring the mushrooms all the time; give it a chance to take a golden color from one side then flip. Stir the minced garlic with the mushrooms.
• Add the stock, soy sauce & balsamic vinegar. Keep boiling until the liquid is evaporated.
• Turn off heat, stir in the butter, oregano & parmesan.
• Season with salt & pepper. Sprinkle with chives (if using).
• Serve over mashed potato, grilled chicken or beef.

Notes:

• You can use a mixture of white & portobello mushroom for more flavor.
• If you don’t have stock, you can use water.
• You can use fresh thyme instead of dried thyme if you prefer.
• You can replace thyme with oregano or rosemary.
