Mushrooms Sauteed in White Wine Sauce - Another Nice and Easy Mushroom Side

I love mushrooms, onions, and wine, so I knew this easy side would work out. I found it at http://ciaoflorentina.com/2010/09/19/sauteed-mushrooms-in-white-whine/ (Note the spelling of the last word.)

The recipe serves 4.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 lb Cremini mushrooms. (I used 12 oz. white mushrooms)
- 3/4 cup white wine
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste. (Lemon pepper works well)
- fresh minced herbs for garnish if desired (parsley, thyme, oregano)

Directions

1. Heat up the olive oil in a large enameled cast iron sauté pan over medium flame. Add the onion to the pan and cook until it starts to get some color all over, making sure not to burn it. (approx. 15 minutes)

2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan with a pinch of sea salt and give them a nice stir. (The salt will help bring out the moisture from the mushrooms). Allow to cook uncovered until all the liquid has evaporated and they start to brown a little.

3. Add the wine, and with a spatula scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with the sea salt and allow to cook until the wine has evaporated and the flavors have concentrated. Add the black pepper to your taste and serve as a side dish or a topping for burgers, chicken or roasts.
