Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 whole shallots
- 200 grams cremini mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and halve the shallots lengthwise. Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into even pieces. Mince the garlic finely.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, add the shallots cut side down. Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to caramelize.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the white wine to the pan and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle in the fresh tarragon, salt, and black pepper. Stir to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Drizzle the dish with the lemon juice and remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm as a side dish or a topping for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
