DRUNKEN MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Melt butter in medium skillet.
• Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook just until tender.
• Add wine and reduce heat to simmer.
• Simmer slowly until the wine completely cooks away. The mushrooms will take on a purplish look from absorbing the wine. If your mushrooms are finished and the rest of the meal is not add a splash more wine and continue to simmer. You cannot over cook the mushrooms.
