Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 5 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Remove the stems and finely chop the caps.
Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh sage leaves into small pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to bubble.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it begins to soften and turn translucent.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the chopped mushrooms and sage to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the mixture begins to darken and caramelize.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor. Add the cream cheese and pulse until the spread reaches your desired texture (smooth or slightly chunky).
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or lemon juice.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite bread, crackers, or vegetable crudités.
