Bite-sized umami bombs! Who knew so few ingredients, could pack such a punch?
I love leaving these whole. It is something different ascetically, and as a bonus there is less prep work involved. These work as a great side dish to grilled meats. The sweet, tangy balsamic vinegar is a wonderful accompaniment to charcoal/grill flavor.
Something to note: Refrain from salting the mushrooms during the browning step. Because salt pulls out moisture, they will struggle to get brown, and take longer to cook.
