Drunken Mushrooms Recipes

DRUNKEN MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. Heat 1 TBS olive oil in pan. Keep pan on low - low/med heat.
• 2. Rinse mushrooms well. Chop off ends of the short stems of the oyster mushrooms. Drop them into the pan, and let them sautee without stirring for about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir, and let sautee for another 2-3 minutes (depends on how big your oyster mushrooms are... they can get HUGE, so either cut them in half, or increase the sautee time if they are that big).
• 3. In the meantime, chop off the hard stems from shittake mushrooms. After oyster mushrooms have been sauteeing for about 5-6 minutes, add the shittake into the pan.
• 4. Give it a good stir. Add now the other tablespoon of olive oil, the salt and garlic. Stir and let sautee for 3-4 minutes.
• 5. Now add half of your beer. Stir, and let simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes.
• 6. Add the rest of your beer. Stir, cover and let simmer for 7-8 minutes.
• 7. Uncover and test to see if 'shrooms are tender, and if liquid is mostly gone. If not, then add a splash of water, cover it up and let it simmer on low heat for a few more minutes.
• 8. At the end, stir in the sugar, and the chopped herbs. Keep it covered until ready to serve. ***** These drunken shrooms have a strong, bitter taste to them and are meant to be served as mixed with some carmelized onions, or as a diced topping on salad. If you can handle the flavor, eat them by themselves along with a good piece of rye bread.
