(here is one of my favorite mushroom dishes
)
NJ's TRI-MUSHROOM BORDELAISE for steaks and chops or as a side dish, serves 4
In a one quart sausepan:
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
2 Tbsp flour
Cook together in saucepan stirring often until lightly browned
Dry ingredients:
1 1/2 Tbsp minced onions or shallots
1 Tbsp minced dry pasrley
1 Bay leaf
1/4 tsp thyme crushed
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper
Add dry ingredients to the butter and flour
Then slowly stir in:
10 1/2 oz. Beef broth
3/4 cup good red wine
Increase heat to medium high; cook stirring constantly until thick; remove Bay leaf
Add sauce to mushrooms that have been sautéed in butter; add snipped Parsley to garnish
1 cup Portabella mushrooms (a very large, rich-flavored cremini mushroom, often grilled, broiled, or sautéed)
1 cup Button mushrooms (a young unopened white mushroom)
1 cup Shiitake mushrooms (a large, meaty, black or dark brown mushroom)
*edit - adding a crushed clove of garlic to dry ingredients is optional....and also pretty good
