Julia Child’s Sauteed Mushrooms

Friday, April 4, 2014
This is an adapted recipe for Julia Child's sauteed mushrooms and one of my all time favorites.


Green onion, mushrooms, garlic, wine and of course a buttery coating make these over the top delicious.


I only altered the recipe slightly by adding red wine, Madiera is the wine of choice by Julia, so feel free to add that in it's place.


Her knowledge of French cooking is greatly appreciated and respected and this is just a favorite easy recipe and a go-to mushroom side dish we all love with any meat on the table your serving.

Tips:


  1. wash mushrooms thoroughly: To clean sliced mushrooms, shake them in a colander to loosen any dirt, then give them a quick rinse just before you're ready to cook. Dry them off with paper towels or a clean tea towel.
  2. fats to use: olive oil, butter, bacon fat, or if on a plant-based diet use your favorite like avocado oil(you can even mix and match fats together)
  3. choose your favorite spices and herbs: garlic, salt, and pepper is all I use, but you can do any combination of flavors you want IE thyme, sage, oregano, or green onions, chives, shallots or onions, (but those are more water-laden and will add more moisture to your pan), which will inhibit some of that gorgeous golden-browning we want to see on our mushrooms, dried spices to use: paprika, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, or curry powder adding after the oil's hot, before the mushrooms go in
  4. deglaze the pan: add a touch of liquid to loosen the delicious bits the bottom of the pan creates, then stir until it's all absorbed into the mushrooms
  5. choose a mushroom: shiitakes are meaty, but baby bella, button/white mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms all work great
  6. use as a topping, side dish, or in recipes like omelets, meats, and seafood
  7. rinse the mushrooms well before cooking
