Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced (227g)
  • 4 garlic cloves minced or finely diced
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ cup heavy cream (35%)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oil and butter in a skillet on a medium high heat on the stovetop.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, with a couple of pinches of salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally til the mushrooms are cooked and no liquid remains.
  • Add the cream and dijon to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and let simmer til the cream thickens.
  • Take off of the heat and stir in the fresh tarragon.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • Slice the mushrooms fairly thickly as they will shrink during cooking.
  • Use a large pan and don’t overcrowd the mushrooms. If you add too many mushrooms to a small pan they will steam rather than brown and can turn soggy.
  • Cook the mushrooms well to remove excess water. The pan should be pretty dry when you add in the cream.
