Balsamic Garlic Grilled Mushroom Skewers

These are super easy with a ton of flavour.  

Ingredients 

1kg mushrooms, sliced ¼ inch thick⠀

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar⠀

1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)⠀

3 cloves garlic, chopped⠀

½ tsp thyme, chopped⠀

Salt and pepper to taste⠀

Method

Marinate the mushrooms in the mixture of the remaining ingredients for 30 minutes.⠀

Skewer the mushrooms and grill over medium-high heat until just tender and slightly charred - about 2-3 minutes per side. Enjoy!

(You can also skip marinating the mushrooms and just saute them in a pan until the liquid dissipates and the sauce glazes the mushrooms).
