- MUSHROOM RAGOUT WITH CHICKEN STOCK REDUCTION
-
- Preparation time: 40 minutes
- Cooking time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
-
- Look for some of the more exotic mushrooms in gourmet or specialty food
- shops. If they are unavailable, simply substitute other mushrooms for a
- total of 2 1/2 pounds.
-
- 1/2 pound each, cleaned and stemmed: shiitake, cinnamon cap, white trumpet,
- hedgehog and cepe mushrooms
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons Madeira
- Salt, freshly ground pepper to taste
- Fresh tarragon leaves
- Chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup chicken-stock reduction, heated, see note
-
- 1. Cut the very large mushrooms into smaller pieces to have some
- consistency in size. Melt butter in two large skillets over medium heat.
- Add half of the mushrooms to each pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until
- mushrooms are just cooked and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
-
- 2. Add Madeira to pan; cook and stir until wine has evaporated, about 5
- minutes. Season with salt and pepper and toss in the tarragon and parsley.
-
- 3. Divide the mushrooms among 4 warm plates and spoon 2 tablespoons of warm
- chicken-stock reduction over each mound.
-
- Recommended wine: pinot noir or Alsatian pinot gris.
-
- Note: chicken stock reduction is made from 3 cups of unsalted homemade
- chicken stock, red wine and chopped tomatoes boiled until concentrated to
- 1/2 cup. If desired, substitute 1 cup reduced-salt chicken broth mixed with
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste and red wine and boiled until reduced to 1/2 cup
- for a quick version.
