Ingredients
- 1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), cleaned and sliced
- 2 tbsp Arlotta Fig Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Arlotta Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Infuse the Olive Oil : In a large skillet, heat the Arlotta Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the aroma fills your kitchen.
Step 2
Sauté the Mushrooms : Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown around the edges. This step enhances their rich, earthy flavor.
Step 3
Add Fig Balsamic for a Gourmet Touch : Pour in the Arlotta Fig Balsamic Vinegar, stirring well to coat the mushrooms. Let the vinegar reduce for 2-3 minutes, intensifying the flavors and creating a slightly thickened glaze.
Step 4
Season and Serve : Season with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a serving dish. For added texture, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts for a light crunch that complements the soft mushrooms.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Fig Balsamic and Rosemary Sautéed Mushrooms alongside roasted meats, stuffing, or even on a charcuterie platter. They’re versatile enough to enhance any Thanksgiving dish, adding that extra layer of flavor your guests will remember.
Tips for Success
- Choose a mix of mushrooms like cremini and shiitake to add depth and varied texture.
