Easy Awesome Musthrooms

Chef #1377213's Note:

I came up with this recipe because I love mushrooms and wanted to intensify the flavor.

• Total Time: 13 mins
• Prep Time: 1 mins
• Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 lb mushroom (any type, sliced Baby Bella's work best)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• ¼ teaspoon herbes de provence
• 3 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon beef base , or (demi-glaze)
• 1 teaspoon chicken base (demi-glaze)

Directions:

1. In a pre-warmed sauce pan over medium heat, melt 3 tbl butter. When the butter is melted (not browned), toss in couple handfuls of mushrooms. Toss them in the pan to coat. Add a small pinch of salt and pepper. Toss again to coat evenly. Let the mushrooms cook for about 3 min - continuing to toss or stirring the mushrooms. Add 1/2 tsp Herb De Provence (you can very this depending on quantity of mushrooms and how much you like the seasoning). Toss again. By now the mushrooms are starting to shrink. (remember, you added salt when the mushrooms were added to the pan, this will stop the mushrooms from releasing a lot of water). Add to the pan, the whipping cream. Before the cream begins to heat up, add 1 tsp of either Beef base, of Chicken base. Stir the base into the cream (if using Beef base, the cream will develops a brown color) until dissolved. Cook the mixture about a minute longer and then plate. This is a great side topping. Even those that don't like mushrooms like this!

Made these for the first time tonight and they were lovely. So easy to prepare while steaks were grilling. Unfortunately I did not have any herbs de provence so substituted basil which worked fine. I might try adding a tablespoon of either red or white wine next time, but will certainly be using this recipe often. Thanks.
