Directions | Heat the balsamic vinegar in the large frying pan over medium heat. Simmer gently (do not boil) for 5-10 minutes, until thick and syrupy.
Cut off the mushroom caps, add to the balsamic balsamic reduction, and cook 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. Remove and set aside. Meanwhile, heat 1 T olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, sauté 30 seconds. Trim and chop the mushroom stems, add to pan, and cook 1 more minute, until soft. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then stir in the mushrooms. Preheat your broiler. Arrange mushroom caps on baking sheet, stuff with bread crumb mixture, and drizzle with remaining 2 T olive oil and some of the balsamic reduction. Broil until golden brown and serve. |
