Peppers, Onions and Mushrooms image

This is a lower fat, less expensive version of my Mushroom Duxelle recipe#155924. This also freezes so well that it is worth making large quanities...especially when any of the ingredients are on sale.

Categories     Onions

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 red peppers
2 yellow peppers
1 green pepper
2 red onions
2 white onions
25 medium button mushrooms
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground
red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Clean and cut all vegetables (remove stems from mushrooms) except garlic, into strips about 1/2-inch size. (this may seem like alot, but it cooks down).
  • Using large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add only onions first. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Lower heat to simmer and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until starting to get golden color.
  • Raise heat to medium-high, add peppers and salt, Stir well into onions. Continue to cook until peppers JUST START to get soft.
  • Add mushrooms, combining well.
  • Add black pepper, garlic, and pepper flakes.
  • Stir well. Lower heat to simmer. DO NOT COVER as this will poach vegetables.
  • Continue to simmer until mushrooms give off their juices but are still firm. It is important NOT to overcook as they will cook again when reheated to be used.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Stir.
  • Allow to cool. Peppers and mushrooms should still have body to them.
  • I like to bag portions in plastic sandwich bags, spread out so they are flat in bag. This makes for easy storage once they are frozen. I then place several bags into a freezer storage bag.
  • I have kept this mix frozen for over a year without change in flavor.
