ROASTED MUSHROOMS IN BALSAMIC SAUCE (430 Calories)

 Worcestershire Sauce makes a nice alternative to Tamari or Soy Sauce.

Heat oven to your favourite roasting/baking temp. 175/190'C - (375'F)

It's best to use a large, shallow baking dish. It can be lined with baking paper if you like.

INGREDIENTS


500 gm mushrooms, whole halved or quartered depending on size. 110 calories

30 gm melted butter                                                                            215                                               
1-2 small onions peeled and diced                                                   30

  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves crushed/chopped
  • tablespoons balsamic vinegar                                                         28

  • Mix together all the ingredients except the mushrooms in a large bowl
  • Add diced mushrooms and toss to cover them evenly.
  • Tip it all into your baking dish and bake for 15-30 minutes depending on the doneness you prefer. If they dry out add a little more butter, balsamic vinegar and water. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the mushrooms and not too thin/watery.
