Made with a medley of wild mushrooms cooked in a creamy sauce, this dish is perfect for those looking for a rich and savory indulgence. With its earthy flavors and comforting texture, this creamy wild mushroom ragout is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, oyster, and cremini)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Clean the wild mushrooms and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic to the skillet. Saute until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the wild mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add the white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  10. Serve the creamy wild mushroom ragout over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
