Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the mushrooms. For the small ones, leave them whole, while for larger mushrooms, slice them into large pieces, ensuring to keep the stems intact.

-
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
-
Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic to the saucepan, and sautΓ© until they turn soft and translucent, which usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Now, add the prepared mushrooms to the saucepan, and sautΓ© them until they become slightly tender, approximately 15 minutes.
-
Stir in the paprika, allowing it to infuse its rich flavor into the mushrooms, and sautΓ© for an additional minute.
-
Next, add diced plum tomatoes, fresh oregano, salt, and sugar to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for around 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Pour in the dry red wine and add chili for that extra kick of spice. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until the mushrooms reach the desired tenderness and the sauce thickens, which usually takes about 20 minutes.
-
Once the Romanian Mushrooms in Tomato Sauce are ready, serve them warm as a delightful accompaniment to mamaliga (cornmeal mush) or pasta, allowing your taste buds to revel in the rich flavors and enticing aroma.
