Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds cremini mushrooms
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves (minced (1 tablespoon))
2 tablespoons cognac (plus 1 teaspoon, divided)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Clean mushrooms and trim stems. If the mushrooms are large, halve or quarter them. Small mushrooms can be left whole.
  • Heat butter and oil in a large skillet that can hold the mushrooms in a single layer. Add the mushrooms cap-side down and cook over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes, without stirring, to caramelize.
  • Toss the mushrooms and lower the heat to medium. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender, brown, and any released liquid is evaporated, about 5-6 minutes longer.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with 2 tablespoons of cognac and lemon juice, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Toss the mushrooms again and cook until the cognac and lemon juice are reduced, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the fresh herbs to the pan and season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Just before plating, stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of cognac.

Yield Makes 6 servings with polenta or pasta

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds fresh mushrooms
1/2 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Submerge the mushrooms in cold water, swish around to wash thoroughly, and drain. Trim the ends, slice and place in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lemon half over the mushrooms and toss.
  • Put the garlic in a large pan and pour in the olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the garlic begins to sizzle but not brown, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, stir, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, add the salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until all moisture is evaporated and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more flavorful dish.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium-high heat until they are browned and tender.
  • Add the cognac and cook until it has reduced by half.
  • Add the butter, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately.

Conclusion:

Sautéed mushrooms with cognac is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be served as an appetizer or side dish. The mushrooms are cooked in butter and cognac, which gives them a rich and flavorful taste. The parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the dish. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
