Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 whole shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup dry marsala
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (plus more to taste)
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms, shallots and garlic and stir to combine, cooking until mushrooms begin to sweat.
- Add fresh thyme and marsala and stir to combine. Let cook until mushrooms are nice and sautéed, about 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper and stir again to combine.
- Transfer mixture to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a rough purée forms. Cut butter into three separate tablespoons and add to the food processor. Pulse until a creamy (not chunky) purée forms, season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve with baguette, crackers and cheese.
