Ingredients

Sauteed Mushrooms

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1 pound crimini mushrooms, quartered

1 clove garlic, smashed

3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Mushrooms: Put the oil and butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the crimini mushrooms, garlic, and thyme, saute until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, season with salt and pepper, toss and remove from heat. Reserve the mushrooms to add to the cooked lentils.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
