Mushroom And Leek Sauté

Mushroom And Leek Sauté Quentin Bacon

Stir the mushrooms and leeks frequently enough so they caramelize without burning, then serve on top of steak.

Ingredients

Serves 4

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds mushrooms (such as button or cremini), sliced
Salt
2 leeks, sliced crosswise, rinsed well
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
  1. Put oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their water and the pan begins to dry out again, 10-15 minutes. Add leeks and cook, stirring, until they soften a bit, 2-3 minutes. Add tarragon and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  • Makes a good substrate for baked eggs. (You may want to add more herbs and some garlic.) Oven at 400. Put 4 to 6 eggs in divots with 1t cream or milk each. Season, and bake to taste, about 10 minutes.

  • Simple and good. Added a splash of white white wine when they started to dry out as I was waiting for other things to finish cooking. Besides serving with steak, served over rice with pork or lamb. I always seem to have a left-over leek in the fridge as most recipes call for two and my grocery store sells them in bunches of three.

  • I don't know why this hasn't been rated, but it's a gem if you just have mushrooms and leek left in the fridge - it's all about letting the veges be what they are, delicious.
