Ingredients:
- 600g brown mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 tablespoon crème fraîche (or additional sour cream)
- Salt to taste
- Coarse black pepper to taste
- A pinch of paprika powder
- 200 ml beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- A handful of chives or spring onions, chopped
- Vegetable oil for frying
Detailed Instructions:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Equipment: 28cm skillet or frying pan (preferably with a flat edge), kitchen knife, cutting board, and a serving platter.
1. Begin by preparing the mushrooms. Once they are cleaned and stems are trimmed, ensure they are all approximately equal in size for even cooking.
2. Heat the skillet over high heat, placing the mushrooms into the pan dry—no oil or butter at the initial stage. The aim is to brown the mushrooms to unlock that roasted mushroom flavor. Cook them until you see they start to take on a golden color.
3. Remove the browned mushrooms and set them aside in a bowl.
4. Reduce the heat to medium, add a little vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the sliced onions. Sauté the onions until they start to caramelize and become translucent, gaining a bit of color. This infuses the pan with a savory onion flavor.
5. As the onions caramelize, chop the garlic cloves finely. Mix them with the sour cream and crème fraîche in a small bowl, adding salt to taste.
6. Add the mushrooms back into the skillet with the onions and pour in the beef broth.
7. Sprinkle the dish with coarse black pepper and a pinch of paprika for a mild, smokey hint, gently stir to combine.
8. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 6 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Once the mushrooms are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened, turn off the heat.
10. Spoon over the creamy garlic mixture onto the hot mushrooms, allowing the residual heat to warm the cream without curdling it, stirring gently to combine everything together.
11. Sprinkle chopped chives or spring onions on top for a fresh, herby finish.
12. Serve the rustic mushroom skillet directly from the pan, accompanied by crusty bread or as a hearty side dish.
Cooking Tips:
- For an added depth of flavor, consider deglazing the pan with a splash of white wine after sautéing the onions, reducing it down before adding the mushrooms back in.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste, especially if you're a garlic lover.
- The paprika powder is mild, so feel free to increase it if you prefer a stronger paprika presence.
