This rich side dish could easily stand on its own as an elegant meatless main course. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter |
8 large shallots, sliced (about 2 cups) |
6 garlic cloves, minced |
2 pounds assorted fresh wild mushrooms (such as stemmed shiitake, crimini, and oyster), sliced |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme |
3/4 cup madeira |
1 7.25-ounce jar roasted peeled whole chestnuts, halved (about 1 1/2 cups) |
3/4 cup whipping cream |
chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender and golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter and stir until melted. Add mushrooms; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender and brown, about 10 minutes. Add thyme and stir 1 minute. Add Madeira and simmer until almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add chestnuts and whipping cream and simmer until cream thickens and coats mushroom mixture, about 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with chives.
