Ingredients

4 pounds white button mushrooms

1 liter Burgundy wine (other dry red wines will work)

2 cups boiling water

1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter

1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dill seed

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 beef bouillon cubes

4 chicken bouillon cubes

4 cloves garlic, peeled

Salt

Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

  1. Thoroughly wash the mushrooms and throw them into a large stockpot. Add the wine, boiling water, butter, Worcestershire sauce, dill seed, black pepper, beef and chicken bouillon cubes and garlic. Stir to combine. 
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 6 hours. 
  3. Remove the lid, and then continue cooking, uncovered, for 3 hours. 
  4. Add salt to taste at the end of the cooking process. The mushrooms will be very dark in color. Serve straight from the pot or spoon the mushrooms and cooking liquid into a serving bowl. Have crusty bread nearby to soak up the deliciousness.

My family has been using this exact recipe since at least the 1980s. It is truly outstanding and always wows guests. For parties, I usually cut the amount of butter in half and serve them as an hors d’oeuvre from a chafing dish. And I always make them at least a day ahead to let the flavors meld. I have experimented with a vegetarian version by substituting vegetable bullion for the beef and chicken bullion. The result is not quite as savory, but almost as good as the original. My family super recommends this recipe.
