Caramelized Onion and Mushroom
Caramelized onion and mushroom is a top-tier choice for addition to almost every meal, especially meats. This time I served it with rib-eye steak and turkey burgers for a real gourmet feast. It is actually nothing special, but pairs with many dishes enhancing the flavors. Here is the recipe for this simple, but effective side dish!
Ingredients
- 3 yellow onions (large)
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cups white button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup beef bouillon
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
Chop the Veggies
- Halve the onions and slice them thinly.
- Slice mushrooms, as well. Dice the garlic finely.
Caramelize the Onions
- Sauté onions and garlic over olive oil and some butter at moderate temperature. Stir it occasionally so it doesn’t burn.
- After approximately 10 minutes, add some brown sugar so the onion becomes stringy. Add a splash of beef broth.
Add Mushrooms
- Add cremini mushrooms and sauté them for about 10 minutes, then add white buttons and cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Add one more splash of beef bouillon and season with salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper.
- Simmer it for a few minutes until you reach the right consistency.
Serving
- Serve with any meat, pasta, rice, or anything you like. I recommend serving it with rib-eye steak or turkey burger.
