Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Olive oil divided
- 1 cups Onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic finely minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme finely chopped
- 1-2 lbs Fresh mixed wild mushroom washed, dried and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cups Dry sherry
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Medium multigrain baguette or radicchio chips
Instructions
- Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onions are caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- Add the thyme, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and mushrooms.
- Turn the heat to low, and add the white wine. Then turn the heat to high and deglaze the pan with wine, scraping any bits of onion and mushrooms off the bottom of the pan, and back into the mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes or so. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
- Cut the baguette into thin slices (about 1/4 to 1/2-inch) and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them in oven until they are beginning to turn golden.
