MUSHROOM DUXELLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Finely chop the mushrooms in a food processor.
• Scrape the mushrooms onto a clean cotton kitchen towel. (Choose an old towel as the mushrooms will stain it. Do not use terry cloth.)
• Over a sink, twist the towel around the mushrooms to wring out as much liquid as possible.
• Heat a large (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to melt and avoid burning.
• Add the mushrooms, shallot, thyme, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
• Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms appear dry and begin to brown, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and, when melted, add the vermouth.
• Cook until the vermouth has evaporated, stirring frequently. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

DUXELLES: A WAY OF PRESERVING YOUR MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Trim off, if necessary, the woody part of the mushroom stems, and with a damp cloth wipe off any dirt (don't immerse the mushrooms in water). Chop both stems and caps into small dice. Spread them out on a towel, and sprinkle the salt over them. After about 10 minutes, pat dry to remove excess juice. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a fairly large skillet, toss in the shallot, and sauté it gently for about 2 minutes. When the mushrooms have released their liquid, add them to the shallot, and cook together few minutes, until the pan is dry. Cool, and store in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze.

MUSHROOM DUXELLE

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and saute for 6 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic and continue to saute for 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the port wine and cook until almost all the liquid has cooked off, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the duxelle from the pan and cool completely. Season the entire quail with Essence. Stuff the quail with the duxelle and set aside.

MUSHROOM DUXELLE - MY WAY!

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet that has a tight fitting cover.
• Add oil and bring just below smoking level.
• Add shallots, stir well to coat. Lower heat to medium-high. Fry shallots until they just start to turn golden brown.
• Add all the peppers, Season with the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until they just start to become soft.
• Add all the mushrooms on top. Do Not Mix!
• Cover skillet, turn heat to low. Let simmer 10 minutes, then uncover.
• Add garlic and stir everything together.
• Continue to cook, UNCOVERED, until mushrooms have wilted to half the amount you started with -- about 15 minutes on low heat.
• You will have liquid from the mushrooms when finished. I keep the liquid with the mix as it adds flavor to most everything you use it for.
• *If you choose not to use shallots, you can use any type of onion you wish.
• This cooks down a great deal so plan accordingly. I always make more than I need because this freezes so well and can be use in so many different recipes.
