Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced leek
1 lb portabella mushroom, gills removed, trimmed and diced

  • Add the sherry and sauté until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
