Cabernet Mushrooms

If you live in the Chicago area, you may have seen this recipe in local paper this week. It sounds very good, however, I would rather drink the bottle of wine! 😀🍷

CABERNET MUSHROOMS

1 bottle Cabernet Sauvignon

2 cups beef stock

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme, or tied bunch of fresh thyme

4 beef bouillon cubes

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 bay leaf

4 lbs. white mushrooms, cleaned and cut if large...do not slice

salt and pepper to taste

Heat wine, beef stock, butter, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bouillon cubes and garlic in large stockpot, stirring until butter is melted and bouillon cubes dissolved. Add mushrooms and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 6 hours. (This could also be done in a slow cooker.) Remove the lid, and continue cooking uncovered 1 hour or until mixture is reduced by about half. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper; serve hot. Flavor actually improves if made the day before serving.

Delicious served with Beef Tenderloin or other choice of beef.

Oh my gosh, that sounds wonderful. I'm serving beef for New Year, that would be a great go with.

HB glamma, you are welcome! I love mushrooms and especially with any beef. Indoor kitty, if you try it, let us know. I am not sure how soon I will be fixing it.

My son's GF made this for an office party-I have never seen so many mushrooms in my life: they were gone within 10 minutes!!! This is my kind of dish!

This sounds delicious. If made in advance, would you serve cold or re-heat? We're essentially vegetarian, so I'd have it stand-alone, i.e. no beef (but beef stock is okay, we're not strict).

The Pioneer Woman makes something very similar to this using Burgundy and she cooks her for 9 hours!

I would definitely heat this up. I am a semi-vegan: I know that sounds crazy, but I love the food, and my health has improved. This is one of those dishes that you could serve to meat eaters without serving any meat-and they wouldn't miss it. It's so rich and beefy, but to amp up the richness, I start mine off by formalizing a lot of onions in Evoo, then add everything else. The reduction is everything: it all depends on what you like-but the more you reduce it, the more those flavors intensify.

ValuSkr, I agree with Poodlepet2, I would reheat and serve warm.

CelticCrafter, thanks for mentioning Pioneer Woman's recipe. I will look it up. Thanks for extra tips too, Poodlepet2.

@walker I think this recipe may have appeared in Chicagoland papers as it is a version of a much loved dish served at a very much loved restaurant chain (Steak and Ale) that closed a while ago. These mushrooms are delicious and very easy to make and reheat beautifully. Highly recommend!

The only way I could eat those mushrooms is if I drank the whole bottle of cabernet first. Cannot eat a mushroom in any form, ever. So, more for those of you who like them. Enjoy.

mtc, I did not know that recipe was used at Steak and Ale too.

Bridgegal, I am sure you are not alone. But, those that do like mushrooms will enjoy them.....and more wine too!
