PACKED MUSHROOM STEW
by dancergaius
This stew is a much better use of Alstrooms than stuffing them into your magic flask and accidentally triggering Cursecast!
Active cooking time: 20. Total cooking time: 20. Serves 4
Ingredients
¼ cup butter (57g)
2 medium onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 slices ginger, cut about ½ inch (1cm) thick
1 lb mixed mushrooms (450g)
salt and pepper, to taste
¼ cup dry white wine (60mL)
1½ cup vegetable or chicken stock (360mL)
½ cup half-and-half (120mL)
⅓ cup heavy cream (80mL)
2 tsp thyme leaves (4g)
2 tsp oregano (4g)
dashes of white pepper and paprika (optional)
1 scallion, sliced
flour
In a pot, melt the butter on medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes
Add garlic and ginger and cook for a few more minutes, until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until soft and add the wine.
Cook for a few minutes, then add vegetable/chicken stock and bring to boil. Slowly stir in the half-and-half and heavy cream.
Add the fresh thyme leaves and oregano. Stir in white pepper and paprika, if using. Add the scallions, reserving a handful for the garnish.
Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until the stew thickens. If it doesn't thicken to your liking, slowly stir in a few tbsp of flour, one at a time, until thickened. Remember to continue seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
Garnish with scallion slices. Enjoy on its own or over rice!
