Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3 (10 ounce) packages cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons dry Marsala, sherry or white wine, optional
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
- Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat another 30 seconds. Add the shallot and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt to the hot pan and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes or until fragrant and beginning to soften. Add the mushrooms to the pan along with another 1/2 teaspoon salt and the thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have let off some of their juices are beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Deglaze with the Marsala, if using, and add the broth and remaining salt. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pan, increase the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about an additional 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs, stir in the butter and serve.
