MUSHROOMS IN CRANBERRY REDUCTION



Mushrooms in Cranberry Reduction image

On Christmas day, I realized I had no wine to make my mushroom sauce for our steak. I invented this on the spot, and everyone loved it. Preparation time includes assembling ingredients. Cooking time is also "active" time because of the need to stir.

Provided by Chef George S.

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon garlic (minced or crushed)
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced thickly
1/2 cup cranberry juice (no artificial sweeteners, at least 25% cranberry juice)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a non-stick pan saute the garlic and shallots in the olive oil. Do not brown them.
  • When the shallots and garlic are soft (about 3-5 minutes), add the mushrooms. Stir gently until mushrooms soften and give up their liquid.
  • Turn up the heat to medium and add the juice, vinegar, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring to brisk boil and reduce the liquid to about 1/3 cup, stirring to keep ingredients from sticking.
  • Either spoon over sliced steak or serve separately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and efficient in the kitchen.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking mushrooms, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than sauté.
  • Cook the mushrooms in batches: If you have a lot of mushrooms to cook, cook them in batches. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding the pan and will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the mushrooms well: Mushrooms have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Add the cranberries at the end: Cranberries are a delicate fruit, so it's best to add them to the dish at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent them from breaking down and becoming mushy.

Conclusion:

This mushroom and cranberry rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give this mushroom and cranberry rice a try.
