Brandied Mushrooms

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.

    This seems like a nice easy recipe but they look soooo good! (That steak caught my eye too:@) What a great recipe to share as we're going into grilling season. Thanks so much for joining in!

    Two posts in one day - I'm impressed! Oh my, those mushrooms sound wonderful. Only 4 tablespoons of butter? Paula must have not felt well the day she wrote that recipe :)

    I typically grab the bottle of Marsala. I'll try it with brandy next time.

    LOL ... I was getting ready to post and the family pic caught my eye. Love it!!!

    Carol, you won't believe this. I was just about to look for this recipe in my file! Joe was supposed to get me baby bellas so I could make merlot-shrooms for kabobs, but he got me sliced mushrooms instead. We love these!!

    Very simple and delicious! I have cooked this dish but without the brandy. I have to buy one bottle for future use!

    Thanks for reminding me of these. I used to cook them without the brandy, but I bet the brandy make a huge difference.

    I always wanted to add some brandy in savory dishes. This does look amazing with a steak.

    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

    Yummmmm! How great this would be with a gorgeous flat iron steak or a juicy looking tri-tip like you have there (i think it's a tri-tip).

    I am very sure those brandied mushrooms alone would make a great meal...and with pork spareribs...:-)) that's a match made in heaven!

    We love mushrooms with our steak! I'm going to give these a try the next time that we grill. With butter and brandy, how can you go wrong?! Yum!

    OMG- this sounds absolutely wonderful, Carol!! I love mushrooms in butter, so I can only imagine what the addition of brandy will do for them. Can I say sinful?! LOL
