Drunken Mushrooms

Submitted by racrgal

"An impressive topping to any steak without a lot of effort or ingredients. Sweet and garlicy. The concord wine needs to be very sweet for this recipe. Not a wine you would normally drink. I use Manischewitz Concord Grape. The wine will almost carmalize during cooking. You may use canned mushrooms but fresh seem to absorb the flavors better. If you use canned mushies, drain the liquid."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

directions

1. Melt butter in medium skillet.
2. Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook just until tender.

4 Stars, DH said he could only taste the wine, not the mushrooms. The end result was almost like candy, so a small amount would be enough for a garnish. This took over 30 minutes for the wine to reduce, so I would recommend starting early. I cooked Recipe #306853 in the time this entered the second half of its simmering. I paired the mushrooms with Recipe #283784 so DH could sample this before he goes hunting. DH prefers sweet wine like Manishevitz Sweet Concord Wine, but the mushrooms were overwhelmed by it. Thanks, we were happy to try this as a change of pace. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
