Tipsy Mushrooms image

I invented this recipe looking for a star-side dish to go with a fairly plan dinner of roasted chicken and salad. It was such a hit that I've made it a staple in my dinner-party side dish rotation! It's most-requested on chilly winter nights when everyone could use a little "happy" in the dinner hour.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 box fresh whole white or "baby bella" (cremini) mushrooms
1 Tbsp butter
2 clove garlic
1/4 c whiskey
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Brush dirt from the mushrooms (do not wash) and pop off the stems.
  • 2. Slice into approximately 1/4 inch slices.
  • 3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  • 4. Add mushrooms and gently stir to coat. Add a good pinch of Kosher or Sea salt and pepper.
  • 5. Once mushrooms begin to wilt a little and the juices are coming out, add the garlic. Stir frequently to keep the garlic moving so it doesn't brown.
  • 6. Once the mushroom juices have evaporated, add the whiskey and slightly lower heat. Allow to simmer, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are completely soft and the liquid is reduced.
  • 7. Serve as a side dish or on top of poultry or steak or fat burgers. Also makes a great topping for crusty bread slices!
