I am really particular about mushrooms, as I don't normally like them, but have been trying to develop a taste for them over the past couple of years. This recipe is an excellent way to serve mushrooms that aren't overcooked or tasting too much like mushrooms. I halved the recipe because it was just me & my 5 year old, but after tasting the final product, I really wished I'd bought a full pound of mushrooms. I know my mushroom loving DH would love this one too, so I'll be making it again. The red wine and the purple of the shallot give them such a beautiful color. Thank you for sharing, karmakamilienne! Made & enjoyed for the Spring 2012 Pick-A-Chef event.

This is an excellent way to cook mushrooms! I didn't have shallots so I used diced onion and minced garlic. I also cut back on the wine because I didn't have enough for a cup. It still worked great. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2012.

Very nice and flavorful mushrooms! I don't care for shallots so substituted a few cloves of garlic and thought this worked very well. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
