Duxelles: A Way of Preserving Your Mushrooms image

Categories     Sauce     Mushroom

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 pound mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 shallot, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Trim off, if necessary, the woody part of the mushroom stems, and with a damp cloth wipe off any dirt (don't immerse the mushrooms in water). Chop both stems and caps into small dice. Spread them out on a towel, and sprinkle the salt over them. After about 10 minutes, pat dry to remove excess juice. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a fairly large skillet, toss in the shallot, and sauté it gently for about 2 minutes. When the mushrooms have released their liquid, add them to the shallot, and cook together few minutes, until the pan is dry. Cool, and store in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze.
