Roasted Mushrooms for a Crowd

DancesInGarden's Note:

We love the sauteed mushrooms from a popular restaurant chain (salty, peppery goodness). This recipe is not exactly the same, but very good and makes enough to serve a crowd. If you're looking for something good to go with steak at your next cook out, this may be it! Even better made ahead and reheated.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 10

Yield: 10.0 cups

• 5 lbs mushrooms , cleaned
• 8 ounces shallots , minced
• 3 large garlic cloves , minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup red wine
• 6 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
• 1 cup hot water
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄3; cup mushroom soy sauce or 1⁄3; cup dark soy sauce or 1⁄3; cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• additional salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place cleaned mushrooms in a large roaster and set aside.
3. In a skillet melt the butter with the oil.
4. Add minced shallots and saute until translucent.
5. Add garlic, pepper, and dried thyme. Saute until fragrant and garlic is softened.
6. Add wine. Bring to a boil, and allow to bubble until some of the alcohol cooks off and the wine reduces a bit.
7. Mix beef bouillon powder, soy sauce and hot water. Add to skillet, stirring well.
8. Allow to simmer for a minute or two to blend flavours.
9. Pour mixture over the mushrooms in the roaster. Cover with the roaster lid.
10. Roast in 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes, then stir. Place back in oven uncovered and roast an additional 20 minutes.
11. Taste the liquid. Moisture from the mushrooms has diluted it some. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
12. If you like you can strain out the mushrooms and reduce the cooking liquid by about half, then pour over the mushrooms in a serving container.

These mushrooms were a big hit with my DH. I made only half the recipe and roasted them in a casserole dish. Used baby portabella's as that is now DH's favorite mushroom and a less expensive wine, Cabernet Sauvignon. I had regular soy sauce on hand so used that and omitted the salt. The kitchen smelled wonderful while the mushrooms were roasting and tasted just as good. Made and reviewed for PAC - Fall 2008.

Loved these! The wine did it for me. (: Used the leftovers to make DancesInGarden's Stroganoff recipe. Both were just delicious. Thanks for posting these.
