- In a frying pan, heat olive oil then saute onions until softened and then add button mushrooms. Saute for about 6 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in tomato paste. Set aside. Note that This duxelle [minus the paste] can be made ahead of time and will keep for two days in the refrigerator and you can use it to flavor stuffings, potatoes, casseroles, and soups.
- In the same pan, heat vegetable oil over high heat adding the portabellos and saute until soft.
- Serve the portabello filets with a layer of mushroom filling and hot [1 1/2 cups] demi-glace.
- Demi-Glace [reduction sauce]:.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil adding all the vegetables and saute until the onions are a golden brown (about 6 minutes).
- Add the tomato paste and the garlic. Saute until the tomato paste is well combined with the vegetables.
- Add half the red wine and allow it to reduce by one third of the volume. Add the other half of the wine and allow to reduce by one third.
- Add the bay leaf, water, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, and allow to reduce by half. Strain the sauce.
- Serve hot, or refrigerate until ready to use.
- Demi-glace is done when it coats the back of a spoon. If not thick enough, arrowroot dissolved in a little cold water can be added.
- [This can be used with other recipes or as a stand alone sauce].

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review.
Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore.
I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck.
Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine.
No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
