Caramelized Mushrooms

by Shelly Kneupper Tucker on August 12, 2008

Oh. My. Thunder! I love mushrooms! Tonight, I cooked some our favorite way and let them cool, then added them to a salad (you don’t even need dressing). Usually, I serve them as a side dish. Just thought I’d share it with you. Yumm! So very simple, and ready in less than 10 minutes.

In a heavy skillet, put three tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil (you can use real butter, if you don’t have to worry about cholesterol and you want to be decadent) and heat it on high. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 pound of sliced mushrooms (I like baby bellas) in a single layer. Let that cook for about 2 minutes (the mushrooms will begin to caramelize. Sprinkle not quite a tablespoon of sugar over them (again, you can add a little more if your weigh/cholesterol/health is not at issue). Stir the mushrooms, and let them cook another two or three minutes…sometimes four. When they are looking good to you, splash some raspberry blush vinegar on them (a tablespoon is about all I use). Let that vinegar cook off for about one minute. Voila!

These look AMAZING!!!! I will be sending this link to my best friend so she can test them out in her own kitchen, since I can’t cook while I’m on the road.

I loved your Q & A with Michelle from Bleeding Espresso – I’ve been reading her for quite some time and enjoy all of her posts – especially the food ones!

I’ve read your last few posts also and I’ll be back to read more. I’m also with you on the Olympics post!
