Best 2 Button Mushrooms à La Crème Recipes

AMAZING BUTTON MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse mushrooms to remove any dirt and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim any extra long mushroom stems.
• Add butter and olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Let heat until butter is melted.
• Add mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Let mushrooms cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring infrequently to allow mushrooms to brown and caramelize.
• Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, thyme, and parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
• Toss everything well in the pan, then add to a serving dish, making sure to pour remaining pan drippings over top.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley for garnish and serve warm.

MUSHROOMS A LA GRECQUE

Steps:

• Cut a cross on the base of the tomatoes, immerse them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; drain and peel the skin away from the cross and, discarding the juice the and seeds (see notes below), finely chop the tomatoes.
• Place the tomatoes, oil, wine, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and basil to a non-aluminium pan, add about 1 cup of water and bring to the boil; then cover and simmer for 10 minutes; then uncover the pan, add the mushrooms and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Lift out the mushroom with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
• Boil the cooking liquid rapidly until about 1 cup remains, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and sugar, to taste.
• Pour the liquid over the mushrooms, and leave the mushrooms to cool.
• Serve the mushrooms cold, sprinkled with the chopped parsley and the walnuts.
• Notes: Rather than wasting such juices or vegetable peelings, I add them to my container of ingredients for when I next make my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453.
