Today I'm sharing two simple mushroom recipes that are perfect for an easy flavorful side dish turning basic ingredients into something really delicious you'll want to make again and again. Stay tuned you won't want to miss them. Go ahead and season with about half a teaspoon of kosher salt and a quarter teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper and a quarter teaspoon of dried thyme or if you have fresh just use two to three sprigs. You'll need two cloves of garlic. Dice one of them and add it to the baking dish. Smash the second clove and just toss it in whole with the skin on. Toss everything together then spread the mushrooms out into a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius for about 35 minutes. At the 20 minute mark take it out of the oven give everything a quick toss then return it and bake for another 15 minutes. In a small bowl mix about one and a half tablespoons of olive oil with two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Our mushrooms are out of the oven perfectly golden and wonderfully juicy. Remove the garlic clove then transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Pour the sauce over them and let them sit for about two hours giving them a toss a couple of times as they soak up all that flavor. You can serve these flavor-packed mushrooms alongside grilled chicken or steak. Spoon them over creamy mashed potatoes or even toss them with pasta for a quick comforting meal. They also taste amazing on toasted sourdough or as a topping for burgers and sandwiches. However you serve them they bring so much rich savory flavor to the table. Let's move on to the second amazing recipe.

Cut about 16 ounces or 450 grams of mushrooms into chunks. Warm one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Next go ahead and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Don't stir the mushrooms for the first two minutes so they can start to brown properly and develop that rich deep flavor. Dice two cloves of garlic.
