2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 head onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Melt butter & olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in butter with 1 pinch salt until the mushrooms give off their juices; reduce heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring often, until juices evaporate and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
