Mushroom Ragout image

Nigella Lawson brought this recipe to The Times in a 2006 article about vegetarian comfort food. "The mushrooms, which are easy to cook, require a certain amount of patience and trust. Once you tumble your huge pile of prepared mushrooms into the pan, you could quite reasonably believe they will never cook down, never lose their bouncy rawness and could go on absorbing oil forever. Just start by moving them around gingerly in the pan and then, when they have all had their turn in the heat, clamp on a lid and let them give off their bosky juices." Serve with Ms. Lawson's Spiced and Herbed Millet (as shown) or rice.

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
2 pounds mixed fresh mushrooms (like button, cremini, chanterelle, oyster)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon celery salt
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup Amontillado or cream sherry
Finely grated zest of half a lemon
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Soak porcini in 1 1/2 cups boiling water until softened, at least 20 minutes. Pick over fresh mushrooms, tearing or slicing bigger ones as needed.
  • Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onion and garlic and sauté until softened. Stir in cumin and celery salt. Drain porcini, reserving liquid, and add to pan, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add fresh mushrooms and turn in pan until they begin to soften. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in flour, followed by porcini soaking liquid and sherry. Cover and simmer until mushrooms are cooked through but retain a meaty bite, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a warmed platter, and sprinkle with a mixture of lemon zest and parsley. Serve with millet (as shown) or rice.

This ragout is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I always have a few mushrooms left over from other recipes, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this ragout. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was so flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish is so versatile. I've served it over pasta, rice, and even polenta. It's also great as a filling for ravioli or lasagna.

I love how easy this ragout is to make. I always have mushrooms on hand, so it's a great last-minute meal. The addition of white wine and herbs really elevates the flavor.

This mushroom ragout was divine! The flavors were rich and complex, and the texture was perfect. I served it over mashed potatoes, and it was absolutely heavenly. I will definitely be making this again and again.
