I really enjoyed this dish, but DH only a little. I feel it's really a matter of personal taste - the balsamic made it perfect for me - a little to much on the sweet side for him. It wasn't hard to make, but you do need to stand with it while preparing. It sure looked impressive and loved the glaze, the only thing I did differant was add some sliced red bell peppers to it as I had some left over. Thanks so much for posting.

Love balsamic vinegar so almost any recipe featuring the ingredient will catch my eye. If it's point friendly (WW), I'm sold. I made this as presented adding a sprig or two of fresh thyme to the reduction. I find the herb complements the rich earthy flavors of the mushrroms and vinegar. Quick, easy and delicious - keeper. Made for the *Healthy Chioces ABC Game*.

I like this recipe. It had a nice tang to it. I am going to make all my onions for all my dishes with this metheod. I could have eaten the whole pan of onions alone. However, I am not 100 % sure I made it correctly. I had never made a reduction before. I thought it would be more syrupy. Even though, it wasn't exactly what I expected, it was good and will be on my make a gain list.
