Magic Meaty Mushrooms

By "magic" mushrooms, I really just mean delicious mushrooms. For "special" mushrooms of any kind, I'm not your girl. While I may be quirky, I'm pretty darn square.

So delicious mushrooms, huh? These were kind of an experiment, but I'm really pleased with how they came out. I started out by slicing a package of baby portabellas in half. I'd guess you could use just about any mushrooms, but I like the texture of these. Cremini would work as well, but they're gillier. (Gillier = having more gills. Obviously.)

To these I added some soy sauce (I'll use low sodium in the future), worcestershire sauce and honey (not pictured, again obviously).

Mix all that up a bit to coat.

Cook over low heat.

Keep cooking until you taste them and they're delicious!

These have a delightfully hearty and meaty texture. That's not to say that they taste like meat, which they don't. That's one of the reasons I like them. But they're a great side dish, if you ask me. And they were delightful alongside some homemade pierogies!
