SHIITAKE MUSHROOM GRAVY RECIPES

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms. Place stems and stock in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 30 minutes. Strain; set aside.
• Place 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add shallots, and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, and cook until mushrooms are soft, browned, and all liquid has evaporated. Add Marsala, if using, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits on bottom of pan. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Combine remaining 3 tablespoons butter and flour in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring until incorporated and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in stock; bring to a boil, whisking until thickened. Stir in reserved mushroom mixture and thyme. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until dry and tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook, stirring until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the Marsala and broth and continue to cook until it comes to a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
