Balsamic Thyme Mushrooms

August 19, 2013 by amanda 2 Comments

Balsamic Thyme Mushrooms

Oil and vinegar dressed salads were a key component of meals when I was growing up. For a while vinegar was blacklisted from my eating and cooking because I simply had had enough. Then I was introduced to balsamic vinegar and my life changed.  Almost a year ago I had gastric sleeve surgery and overnight my palette and cravings changed. It was one of the strangest experiences. Imagine pregnancy cravings, and then imagine them never going away! The things I had liked until that point no longer appealed to me, and the things that I wouldn’t have touched pre-surgery were new cravings.  Vinegar was one of the things I craved.

Balsamic Mushrooms

The good news about this recipe, you don’t have to have crazy taste buds to enjoy these mushrooms. They are loaded with flavor and would be wonderful paired with steak or chicken, or eaten alone as a side dish.

Gather

1/2 lb of any mushrooms
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
2-3 springs of fresh thyme or lemon thyme

Step by Step

  1. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, remove excess dirt and slice into pieces.
  2. In a sauté pan heat olive oil and balsamic vinegar on medium heat.
  3. Once the liquid is bubbling, add the mushrooms and turn down the heat and allow them to cook down.
  4. You will notice that there will be a release of liquid at some point in cooking, adding more liquid to the pan than you started with – keep cooking.
  5. Strip the leaves off of the thyme stalks, and add ½ to the mushrooms during the final minutes of cooking.
  6. The mushrooms are ready when the liquid has completely cooked off and the mushrooms are soft.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining thyme leaves to the mushrooms before serving.

    This is only one WW Plus point. The only points is the olive oil…

      Hi Lynn! Thanks for the comment. It kind of depends how you calculate it. If you count all the ingredients separately, it is 1 point. But if you put the ingredients into Calorie Count and calculate the points off the nutrition info, its 3. Weight Watchers is tricky like that :) We always err on the higher points, but if you want to go with 1, I say go for it!
