Not much to blog about today, but I have been thinking about posting a favorite recipe of mine. It's very rich-tasting but lowfat. And don't freak out about the alcohol; most of it burns off during cooking. Bon Appetit!
Mushrooms in Red Wine
1 pound sliced mushrooms (white, cremini, baby portabellos or any mixture you like)
Chopped shallots and/or garlic
1 tsp. olive oil
3/4 to 1 cup of dry red wine (I like a Rioja or a Cabernet Sauvignon)
Dash worcestershire sauce
Saute the shallots/garlic and the mushrooms in the olive oil until they have given off most of their liquid and are slightly browned. You can add a bit of salt at this point. Pour in the red wine and let simmer until the wine has reduced by about half. Season with a dash of worcestershire sauce and freshly ground pepper. Chopped parsley on top will really bring out the flavor. These are great with steak, of course, but for a meatless entree would be excellent with polenta, brown rice, or even couscous.
Enjoy and let me know how you like it.
