How to make the best sautéed mushrooms
These Balsamic Shallot mushrooms are simply the best. With only minimal ingredients, they are loaded with delicious umami flavor and are even low carb, gluten free, paleo and Whole30 compliant.
In my opinion, the formula for the best sautéed mushrooms is some sort of fat - olive oil, butter, ghee, coconut oil, paired with a flavor enhancer like vinegar, lemon juice or wine, and a healthy dose of alliums like onion, garlic, shallot, leek, or chives.
