Sautéed Spinach

Method

Mushroom Fricassée

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the diced butternut squash and turnips to the skillet. Stir well, cover, and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they start to soften.

    Stir in the Matsutake mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Pour in the vegetable broth, add salt, black pepper, and chopped thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cheese

    Remove from heat and stir in the grated Idiazabal cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
