Balsamic mushrooms can dress up the plainest of dishes and if you are looking for a versatile, nutritious and simple side dish, these will definitely fill that bill.
Mushrooms are gluten free, low fat, low carb, delicious and filling.
We love them as an extra layer of flavor on top of steak and chicken.
Pair them with rice or potatoes and vegetables for a fantastic vegetarian meal.
