Caramelized Mushrooms with Onion and White Wine – Vegan version

The secret to dark, sweet mushrooms is a wide pan and high heat, so they caramelize instead of stewing. White wine and onion add depth that suits any meat dish. Vegan version: Canola oil.

To assemble

  1. 1
    Cut the onion into thin half-rings.
    KnifeCutting board
  2. 2
    Clean the mushrooms with a damp towel, without rinsing them in water.
  3. 3
    Cut the mushrooms into ½ cm thick slices.
    KnifeCutting board
  4. 4
    Heat the oil and canola oil in a wide pan over high heat.
    StoveFrying pan
  5. 5
    Add half the mushrooms in a single layer, leave 1½ minutes without stirring, then toss 4 more minutes, until golden. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the rest of the mushrooms.
    Stove
    💡A crowded pan steams the mushrooms and they release water. In a single layer, over high heat and without stirring at first, they brown.
  6. 6
    Heat the canola oil in the same pan over medium heat.

  7. 7
    Add the onion and fry for 10 minutes, stirring, until the onion is translucent and starting to brown.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  8. 8
    Add the garlic and fry about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Garlic burns quickly and turns bitter. Add it only after the onion has softened, over medium heat, and add the next ingredient as soon as it smells fragrant.
  9. 9
    Return the mushrooms to the pan, add the thyme and pour in the wine.
    Stove
  10. 10
    Cook uncovered 4 minutes, until the liquid has almost evaporated.

    Season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with the parsley.
