Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 basil leaves Or 1 tsp dried, soaked in 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red wine vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the mushrooms and basil leaves, then pat dry. Set aside the basil.
  • Cut off a small amount of each mushroom stem to get a fresh end, then chop into about 1/2 inch pieces - I usually quarter the mushrooms.
  • Place a medium saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and heat until bubbles begin to form.
  • Add the mushrooms pieces and stir gently to coat in the butter.
  • Let the mushrooms cook without stirring for about 3 minutes.
  • While the mushrooms cook, chop the basil leaves into 1/4 inch pieces.
  • Turn heat to low, gently the mushrooms, and let cook another 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter, basil leaves, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir gently but thoroughly so that the seasons are well combined. Let cook another minute until basil has wilted and is fragrant.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the heat and drizzle the red wine vinegar over the mushrooms, then stir gently to coat.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

I use this pre-minced garlic:
