Sautéed mushrooms (French: Champignons sautés au beurre) is a dish prepared by sautéing edible mushrooms.[1] It is served as a side dish, used as an ingredient in dishes such as coq au vin, beef bourguignon, and foods such as duxelles, as a topping for steaks and toast, and also as a garnish.
Overview
Sautéed mushrooms is a common dish prepared by the sautéing of sliced or whole edible mushrooms.[1][2] Butter is typically used when sautéing the dish,[1][3][4] and margarine and cooking oils such as olive oil and canola oil are also used.[4][5] Clarified butter can be used, as can a mixture of oil and butter.[6] The dish is typically cooked over a high heat until the mushrooms are browned, with the oil or butter being very hot in a pan before the mushrooms are added.[1][5][6] Overcooking may create an inferior dish by causing the mushrooms to lose moisture and becoming shriveled.[6]
During the cooking process, the dish can be deglazed with the use of wine,[5] and wine can be used as an ingredient in and of itself without deglazing.[7] The dish can be flavored with lemon juice, various herbs and seasonings, salt and pepper.[1][5][6] Additional ingredients such as minced green onions and shallots can also be used.[1] The dish is vegetarian, and may have a meat-like texture.[8][9]
Uses
Sautéed mushrooms is sometimes served as a side dish, and is also used as an ingredient in the preparation of dishes and foods such as beef bourguignon, coq au vin, poulet en cocotte,[1][5] Poulet Saute Chasseur,[10] soups and stews, sauces, and duxelles, a paste prepared by sautéing mushrooms, onions, shallots, and herbs in butter.[5][6] Sautéed mushrooms is also used as a topping for cooked steaks and toast,[7][11][12] as a side dish meant to specifically accompany steaks,[13] and as a garnish.[5] The dish can serve to add significant flavor to various dishes, in part per the glutamic acid present in the cells of edible mushrooms[3] (see also: glutamate flavoring).
