This is a simple nutrient-dense dish with just 4 ingredients that comes together in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shiitake mushrooms
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter
  • 1 Tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
  • Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Minced flat-leaf parsley to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Use a wet paper towel or quick dunk (described above) to clean the mushrooms. Cut off the stems. Save for stock, they provide a nice flavor.
  • Cut caps into 1/2″ slices.
  • Heat a 12″ heavy skillet on medium high heat until hot.
  • Add oil or butter to pan. When shimmering add mushrooms to the pan and stir to coat as evenly as possible in the oil. DO NOT add salt to the mushrooms at this point.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, until nicely browned in spots and tender.
  • Stir in the balsamic and allow the mushrooms to absorb the liquid. Turn off the heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, toss with a little more olive oil, or butter and garnish with parsley if you like.
