Fricasse De Girolles

　　This makes a wonderful side dish to poultry or seafood, or a lovely dish all on its own.

　　

Ingredients

1 tablespoon goose fat or olive oil

　　1 shallot, minced

　　1 clove garlic, minced

　　1 pound wild or cultivated mushrooms, trimmed and cleaned

　　Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

　　1/2 cup flat leaf parsley leaves, firmly packed

　　

Step 1

1. Heat the goose fat or olive oil with the shallot and the garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. When the shallot has turned translucent, after about 2 minutes, add the mushrooms and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until they give up most of their liquid. Increase the heat to medium-high, season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and continue cooking and shaking the pan until most — but not all — of the liquid has evaporated. This will take about 8 minutes.

　　

Step 2

2. Mince the parsley and stir it into the mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning, remove from the heat and serve immediately.
