I quote the cookbook Vegetarian Epicure: "The mushrooms and peppers will be very dark and evil looking, but irresistible in flavor and aroma." So true. In my opinion, there is no better side for a good steak.

MUSHROOMS BERKELEY RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Mushrooms Berkeley Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-1590

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 sweet onion, halved and sliced
1 pound fresh mushrooms, halved
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Stir the red wine, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar together in a bowl until the sugar is thoroughly incorporated into the mixture; set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion in the melted butter until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with black pepper, and continue cooking and stirring another 3 minutes. As the mushrooms reduce in size and begin to brown, stir the wine mixture into the mushroom mixture. Simmer until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Mushrooms: Opt for fresh, firm, and unblemished mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
  • Clean Mushrooms Properly: Gently brush off any dirt or debris from the mushrooms using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid washing them under running water, as this can absorb excess moisture.
  • Slice Mushrooms Evenly: When slicing mushrooms, aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Use High Heat: Cooking mushrooms over high heat helps to caramelize their natural sugars, resulting in a delicious browned exterior and tender interior.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with mushrooms, as this can prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in steaming rather than sautéing.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season mushrooms liberally with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to enhance their flavor.
  • Add Aromatics: Incorporate aromatic ingredients like garlic, shallots, or thyme to add depth of flavor to your mushroom dishes.
  • Experiment with Different Cooking Methods: While sautéing is a classic technique, you can also try roasting, grilling, or even pickling mushrooms for a variety of culinary experiences.
