How to Clean Mushrooms (Except Morels): the Rinsing Method

2015-12-16 15:46:14
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 4 oz. semi-soft herb and garlic cheese (I use Boursin brand)
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Crackers
Instructions
- Saute mushrooms in butter and sherry until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed. This will take approx. 5 - 10 minutes. Combine mushroom mixture, cheeses, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend thoroughly until mushrooms are finely chopped. Pour into a serving bowl. Refrigerate at least 3 hours prior to serving. Serve at room temperature with crackers.
