Recipe 🍳

  1. Clean and prepare the shiitake mushrooms, button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, onion, and garlic.
  2. Place the mushrooms, onion, garlic, seasoned salt, and pepper into an electric chopper and finely mince.
  3. Heat a pan, add a generous amount of butter, then add all the minced ingredients.
  4. Pour in the white wine and sauté over medium-low heat until the moisture evaporates and the mixture becomes dry and thick, completing the duxelles.
  5. Spread the finished mushroom jam on toasted bread and top with beef, or add rice and chicken stock to make a creamy risotto.
  6. Mix the mushroom jam into beaten eggs to make a hearty and fragrant mushroom rolled omelet.
  1. Finely grind the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in a chopper.
  2. Add butter and white wine to a pan, then sauté until all moisture is gone to make the mushroom jam.
  3. Use as a spread on bread, or in risotto, rolled omelets, and other dishes.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using an electric chopper instead of chopping by hand saves a lot of time.
  • Sauté until the wine and mushroom moisture have completely evaporated and the mixture clumps together heavily on the pan bottom for deeper flavor.
  • Store the finished duxelles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use as needed.
