Butter Garlic Mushrooms made in red wine is a beautiful blend of sophistication and mouth-watering flavours.
Mushrooms are a great source of Vitamin D. Especially in the monsoon when the sun plays hide and seek. The cloudy skies during the rainy months block the sun and we are unable to soak the much essential Vitamin D, which our body needs to synthesis the calcium.
Hence, we need to come up with a few cooking techniques to increase the intake of Vitamin D. While cooking wine loses most of it’s alcohol content it also increases the flavour of the dish it is added to. That becomes a win-win, especially on special occasions when the weather is too gloomy outside, these recipes can brighten up your dinner tables.
Mushrooms make a great ingredient for starters. They taste good and do not need any elaborate preparation before cooking. All you have to ensure is that they are wiped clean and thereafter rinsed quickly. Pat dried and they are ready to use.
These buttery garlic mushrooms are ready in flat 10 minutes and the addition of red wine sauce gives it a well-rounded flavour. You can add thyme, basil, oregano, or just mixed herbs with crushed black pepper and your side dish for the dinner is ready.
This could be served over crostini (small pieces of toasted bread) or buttery pasta along with a glass of wine for accompaniment.
