Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mushrooms

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

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

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

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

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

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

Serve

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