MUSHROOM DUXELLE - MY WAY!

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet that has a tight fitting cover.
• Add oil and bring just below smoking level.
• Add shallots, stir well to coat. Lower heat to medium-high. Fry shallots until they just start to turn golden brown.
• Add all the peppers, Season with the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until they just start to become soft.
• Add all the mushrooms on top. Do Not Mix!
• Cover skillet, turn heat to low. Let simmer 10 minutes, then uncover.
• Add garlic and stir everything together.
• Continue to cook, UNCOVERED, until mushrooms have wilted to half the amount you started with -- about 15 minutes on low heat.
• You will have liquid from the mushrooms when finished. I keep the liquid with the mix as it adds flavor to most everything you use it for.
• *If you choose not to use shallots, you can use any type of onion you wish.
• This cooks down a great deal so plan accordingly. I always make more than I need because this freezes so well and can be use in so many different recipes.
