Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1 pound cipollini onions, peeled
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by cleaning mushrooms thoroughly, slicing them evenly, and peeling cipollini onions completely.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt completely without burning.
- Add cipollini onions to the pan, cooking them until they become golden brown and caramelized, approximately 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Remove caramelized onions and set aside on a separate plate, keeping them warm.
- In the same pan, add remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté garlic for 30-45 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the pan, spreading them in a single layer. Allow mushrooms to cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a rich, golden color.
- Pour white wine into the pan, deglazing and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Return cipollini onions to the pan, combining them with mushrooms. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce and create a glossy sauce.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
Tips
- Choose fresh, firm mushrooms and cipollini onions for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to ensure even heat distribution and perfect caramelization.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms - this ensures they brown instead of steam.
- Use a dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for the best flavor profile.
- Let the mushrooms develop a golden crust before stirring for maximum flavor development.
- Fresh parsley is key - chop it just before serving to maintain its vibrant color and flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sauce at its most glossy and flavorful moment.
