Balsamic and Chili Glazed Mushrooms with Walnuts

I was excited to find this recipe because I enjoy all of the ingredients and it is very versatile.  We enjoyed it with some chicken and asparagus tonight.  It would also go great with a salad, on top of rice or just as a light meal on its own.

Balsamic and Chili Glazed Mushrooms with Walnuts

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

3 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 - 1 tsp chili pepper flakes

2 large garlic cloves minced

1 cup broken walnut pieces

3 tbsp vegetable or olive oil

1 lb fresh button mushrooms

1. In a small bowl, mix together vinegar, lime juice, sugar, garlic and red pepper flakes.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the walnuts, stir constantly for 2 -3 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Remove them and set aside.
3. In the same skillet add the oil and heat it over medium-high heat.  Once it is warm add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
4. Add walnuts to skillet and the vinegar mixture while stirring constantly for another couple of minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the mushrooms are well coated.
