Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup apple cider (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the shiitake mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then trim and discard the tough stems. Slice the mushroom caps into thin strips.
Heat the unsalted butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to foam.
Add the finely minced shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to brown slightly.
Pour in the apple cider and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the fresh thyme leaves, balsamic vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until the cider reduces slightly and coats the mushrooms.
Remove the skillet from the heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust the salt and pepper if necessary.
Transfer the shiitake cider sauté to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
