Sautéed Mushrooms in Cream


Julia and Jacques
Cooking at Home

Julia Child and Jacques Pepin,
1999, Alfred A. Knopf
(IACP Cookbook Award Winner)

Julia: "Wild mushrooms have their distinctive flavors, and when I have a
special kind, like chanterelles or porcini (also known as cèpes), I prefer to
cook them separately, rather than mixed with other varieties. All they need
is a brief sautéing in a bit of butter and careful seasoning.
With more ordinary mushrooms, the cream finish that we give in this recipe
brings special flavor and texture to the mushrooms. You can omit the cream
and just finish them with dry Madeira or port (which you should always have
on hand). When the juices have evaporated and the mushrooms are beginning
to turn brown, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of wine to the pan, and cook another
minute or so, until it's reduced to a syrupy consistency. Adjust the seasonings, sprinkle in some chopped parsley, and serve with a sizzling steak."

Yield: About 2 cups, serving 4

12 ounces mixed wild mushrooms and/or
cultivated mushrooms (6 to 8 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons minced shallots or scallions
Salt
1 teaspoon flour
1/2 cup or more heavy cream
2 to 3 tablespoons dry port or Madeira
Freshly ground white pepper

Special equipment:
A non-stick skillet or sauté pan, 10 inches
top diameter or larger, with a cover

Break up or cut the wild mushrooms into 1-inch pieces, and halve or
quarter the common mushrooms to roughly the same size.
Set the pan over high heat with 2 tablespoons of the butter, swirling to
film the bottom and sides. When the butter foams and begins to subside,
add the mushroom pieces and the minced shallots. Toss and stir for a
minute or two to coat with butter, then cover the pan, lower the heat,
and cook for 3 to 4 minutes as the mushrooms exude their juices. Un-
cover, season with 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and sauté over medium-high
heat until the juices are absorbed and the mushrooms start to brown,
about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss with the mushrooms. Sprinkle the flour over all, stirring well and shaking the pan for a few moments to incorporate the flour. Pour in 1.2 cup of cream, stirring as
it heats and thickens; then stir in the port. Bring to a boil and cook for
another 2 minutes or so. Taste the sauce and season with salt and white pepper; if too thick, add more cream. Serve hot.
