Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 red onion, thickly sliced
  • Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 pound assorted mushrooms, including porcini, cremini, oyster, wood ear and white button
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish

Method

  • In a large saute pan over high heat, add olive oil.
  • Add the red onion and saute until tender.
  • Season with salt and crushed red pepper.
  • Add the mushrooms and bay leaf and cook until mushrooms begin to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the balsamic.
  • Add the parsley and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine and demi-glace and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Let simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the cream and stir to combine.
  • Simmer for another few minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.

  • Drain well and serve with sauce over top.
  • Garnish with parsley and Parmesan.
