Red Wine Mushrooms

By srumbel

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, minced
• 8 cups sliced mushrooms (any type)
• 2 cups dry red wine
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons butter (or soy-free vegan butter, if you have dairy allergies)
• kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a large heavy pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the onion and sauté until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.  Add the mushrooms and stir well.  Cook until the mushrooms are soft and tender, another 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.  Add 1 thyme sprig and reduce the heat to low.  Simmer, stirring often, until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 30 minutes.

Stir in the butter and cook for 2 minutes more.  Season with salt., then transfer to a serving dish.  Garnish with the leaves from the remaining sprig of thyme.
