Since people ask, I thought I post a few of my original recipes. Starting with how I prepare mushrooms and onions. I originally started doing them to put on burgers, but it’s become a side dish, too.
Mushrooms and Onions
Serve as a side (cut chunky) or a topping (sliced/chopped) on burgers, steak, chicken breasts, etc.
- Onions – 2 small yellow onions (or 3 cups [12oz] pearl onions)
- Mushrooms – 16oz baby portabella
- Minced Garlic – 1 or two teaspoons or to taste
- Rice vinegar – several dashes
- Worcestershire Sauce – a dash or three
- Teriyaki Sauce – (optional) a tablespoon or so to taste (soy sauce works, too)
- Butter or Sesame Oil (peanut oil may be good, but I haven’t tried it yet)
- Cut onions to prefered style. Thin strips cook faster but 1/8s (halved and quartered) have more texture.
- Quarter or slice mushrooms if whole. Pre-sliced work OK, too.
- In a skillet or wok, saute onions in about a tablespoon of butter or oil to lightly caramelized state. This takes more than a few minutes. I’m happy when edges start to turn brown.
- Add garlic.
- Add mushrooms (and more butter or oil if needed) and saute with the onions until soft, but not mushy.
- Add vinegar, worcestershire sauce and teriyaki sauce to taste. A bit of sriracha sauce for the daring. Stir to blend.
- Remove from heat and let cool 1 or 2 minutes.
Not the same recipe I usually do, but it sounds good too, so I’ll try it. Thank you.
Mmm, this recipe looks good enough to eat…
