Mushrooms in Port
Mushrooms in Port
Andrew Taylor
This is a fast mushroom dish, again popular as a first course. It will take longer to type the recipe than to cook!
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 cup button mushrooms
1 tbsp. butter
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 small onion, approximately 100 gm, peeled and chopped
3 tbsp. Port (any substitute fortified wine, for countries where people do not have port)
A pinch of vegetable stock powder/part of a cube
1/2 cup double cream
Instructions
Take button mushrooms, remove the stalks and slice leaving the caps whole.
In a heated pan add butter, garlic and chopped onion with the mushrooms on top.
Just as the garlic is starting to brown, add a half glass (three tablespoons) of port. Simmer for a minute and add a pinch of vegetable stock cube, and double cream. As soon as it comes to a simmer, serve.
