Ingredients
 

  • 8 ounces mushrooms
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3 stems thyme (sub with 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • oil for cooking

Marsala Sauce

  • 1/2 cup marsala wine
  • 1 tablespoon creme fraiche

Instructions
 

  • Slice onions and mushrooms and remove the leaves from thyme stems.
  • In a frying pan on medium high heat add about 1 TB oil and then toss in mushrooms. Cook and stir the mushrooms for about 3 minutes to allow them to release some water.
  • Then, add in sliced onions. Continue mixing around for about 3-4 minutes. Once the onions and mushrooms start to stick to the bottom of the pan lower the heat to medium.
  • If the pan gets too dry add a little oil when needed. Continue to stir, let it stick for a second then stir again. This speeds the process up. If you let the mushrooms or onions stick for too long they will burn. You will have to stay at the stove while cooking this recipe.
  • When the majority is browned and withered lower the heat and to medium low and toss in thyme. Mix it around then toss in butter. Mix well then salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve.

Marsala Sauce

  • Starting from step 5 above.
  • Do not lower the heat or add butter. Instead pour in marsala wine. Allow the alcohol to cook off (where there isn't a strong smell coming from the pan) then lower the heat to medium low.
  • Toss in the thyme and creme fraiche. Mix everything around until the sauce forms then salt and pepper to taste.
