Steps:

This dish is extremely versatile and works well with meaty wild mushrooms or cultivated ones. Serve on Bruschetta for dinner or use the mushrooms as a pizza topping. Pairs well with Monthaven 2008 Chardonnay. 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 pound cultivated or wild mushrooms (such as shitake, chanterelles, or oyster mushrooms, or a combination) trimmed and quartered if small, thickly sliced if large. Salt 2 tablespoons of Monthaven Chardonnay Freshly ground black pepper Heat a large, heavy non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and when it's hot, add the mushrooms. Sear the mushrooms, stirring with a wooden spoon or tossing in the pan, until they are lightly browned and begin to exude their juices. Add salt to taste, and the wine, and continue to cook, stirring or tossing the mushrooms in the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated and the mushrooms are glazed, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, pepper to taste, and the gremolata. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Taste and adjust salt. Serve hot. Advance Preparation: You can make this recipe through Step 1 hours in advance. Reheat over medium-high heat and proceed with Step 2.
