Ok - I"m really bored with my standard prep of mushrooms (we love them in our house) and I need some new ideas.

Would love some help please!

Not sure what you're after.

Slice mushrooms. Heat oil in a pan, saute garlic until tan, add mushrooms, add oregano, saute until tender.

I saute them in garlic butter and for variety I'll add some last minute brandy or sherry.

Exactly the way I make mine! I made them last night to go along with my Chicken Francese and they were awesome!! Also, sometimes hit them with a little Marsala for a change. YUM!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
BTW...if you're sauteeing them and find them too juicy put a little Ritz crumbs
w/grated cheese on the top and they're great!

I toss mine in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, crushed garlic, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, (or Worstchcester sauce (sp?)) and ground pepper and then throw them in the oven turning once until the vinegar is almost like a syrup, about 20 minutes @ 400. Then I toss with fresh herbs and serve them (and the extra sauce) over a nice bbq'ed steak.

Really yummy!

me too... but use whatever wine or brandy or sherry I have...
White or red wine... whatever I have we don't like for drinking, and I save it for cooking!
Sherry and Brandy are always good!

Sauteed Mushrooms

I just saute them in Olive oil and throw some basil pesto and salt in the very end. In our house, I will throw all this over some freshly cooked pasta and you have a very fast dinner entree served with a good crusty bread

I saute mine in butter/EVOO combination, with some garlic and add either a wine or sherry, as described above. My twist is to add about a tablespoon of sour cream, and some chopped fresh parsley. Makes a nice creamy "sauce", but stays light and not heavy-great over chicken.

That's a great idea! I'll definitely have to try that..almost like a stroganoff.

Those were all fantastic ideas - loved the idea of thyme - so many of you suggested that! GaKaye - the technique you posted looks intriguing - I'll have to try that tonight!

Thanks all!

I tried these after the original posting and they were delicious!!!! Not logged in. judyinnc

Peanut... like the sour cream addition! gotta give it a try...

I make this to put over steak, my family really loves it.

Saute mushrooms and onions, in a tablespoon or 2 of olive oil, until onions are almost transparent. Add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar and cook on high until caramelized. Add a can of french onion soup, 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauces and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Over low heat reduce until thickened - about 1/2 hour or so.

BTW....if you don't like thighs use boneless, skinless breasts.

Mmmmmm!

yummmm... contessa... we love boneless/skinless chicken thighs!
they also make for a great chicken marsala! pounded out thin with a meat hammer...

This looks wonderful.

I made this last night, with boneless, skinless breasts and I must say, it was wonderful! Even my hubby liked it, and he's very picky. It was also very easy and fast, so no problem making it after a full day of work. Thanks Contessa!

Glad you enjoyed! More where that one came from......
I was making it for dinner tonight but hubby called saying he's taking me out to dinner. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Sooooooooo....it'll be tomorrow nights dinner.
