Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them if they are large. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Mushrooms

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and have released some of their moisture.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Madeira

    Pour in the Madeira wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half, which should take about 3-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Broth and Thyme

    Once the wine has reduced, add the vegetable broth and fresh thyme. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Braised Cooking

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the mushrooms braise for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and flavorful.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Madeira braised mushrooms warm as a side dish or over polenta or pasta.
