Ingredients:

  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 4 green onions
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 200g button mushrooms
  • 100g brown button mushrooms
  • 150g mushrooms (variety of your choice)
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • 125g flat leaf parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Recipe Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by finely chopping the garlic cloves and green onions. Slice the button mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a heavy-based pan, layer the chopped garlic, green onions, and sea salt.

  3. Layer Mushrooms: Arrange the button mushrooms (excluding enoki and cloud ear fungus) on top of the aromatics in the pan.

  4. Add Butter and Olive Oil: Distribute the unsalted butter and extra virgin olive oil over the mushrooms. Sprinkle white pepper evenly across the top.

  5. Cook Over High Heat: Place the pan over high heat and allow it to cook for approximately 5 minutes without stirring. This allows the flavors of the garlic and onions to infuse into the mushrooms.

  6. Incorporate Wine and Remaining Mushrooms: After 5 minutes, add the dry white wine to the pan, then gently stir in the remaining mushrooms, ensuring they are well combined.

  7. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer, uncovered, for about 5 more minutes, or until the mushrooms are just tender. Be cautious not to overcook them.

  8. Finish with Parsley: Once the mushrooms are cooked to perfection, stir in the chopped flat leaf parsley, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the ragout.

  9. Serve: Transfer the Italian Mushroom Ragout to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot alongside crusty bread or as a delectable side dish to complement your main course.

Notes:

  • Experiment with different varieties of mushrooms to add depth and complexity to the dish.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences, adding more salt and pepper if desired.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using a splash of cream or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave for a quick and satisfying meal later on.
