Tonight I had some mushrooms to use up, and created a dish that Porter really, really liked. (So did I, for that matter.) So I'm writing it down, as best I can, in hopes of being able to repeat it. Since it was all spur-of-the-moment and I didn't measure anything, all quantities and even the directions are approximate.
2 tablespoons butter1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 oz. mushrooms, sliced (I used a mixture of portabella, shiitake, and oyster)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 cup sherry
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ketchup
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon mace
dash allspice
1/2 cup heavy cream
Caramelize onions in butter. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook until soft. Add sherry, simmer till somewhat reduced. Add remaining ingredients; simmer till somewhat reduced. Serve over pasta, rice, or wild rice.
