Joining Lynn @ Happier than a Pig in Mud for her second Celebrity Cook-Along.
This time we're cooking with Paula Deen!



I've made these mushrooms before but they're so good I'm posting them again!

Printable Recipe

2 pounds fresh mushrooms, sliced lengthwise (I used white button)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brandy
1/2 shallot, chopped
couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper

In a large skillet, saute the sliced mushrooms in the butter until they start to brown. Add the chopped shallots. Stir it around. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Add a couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce and simmer a bit. Add the brandy and continue to simmer until mushrooms are tender and the sauce has been mostly absorbed.

  17. Mushrooms...one of my favourite and especially if it is button mushrooms. We buy at least 4 packs a week and usually just fry them or use it in salad and now we have something different to cook :D
