Learning To Cook French

Being from the Midwest (and not a big city) French cuisine is hard to find. There is so much to learn about preparing French cuisine that I created this blog to share what I learn.

Duxelles


Duxelles is a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, shallots, onions and herbs that are sauted in butter. It can be used in Soups, Sauces, for Stuffing or a side Garnish. I will be making a dish with this later and posting it, but right now lets make some Duxelles.

Ingrediants Include:
1 1/2 T of butter
1 Cup of finely chopped mushrooms (I use Cremini, just wiped off with a paper towel)
1 1/2 T of finely chopped onions
3/4 T of finely chopped shallot
1/4 t of diced Rosemary
1/4 t of Thyme
1/4 t of Parsley
pinch of salt and pepper

Melt the butter in a pan on Medium heat, add the shallots and onions and saute a couple minutes. Add the mushrooms and herbs, salt and pepper and continue to saute until the moisture is cooked off. You can store this in the freezer if you are not going to use it that day.
