Do you have a dish that requires starting before the rest of the house is even awake? 🍄
If Burgundy mushrooms are on the menu,
you need to get going early.
This is not a quick recipe.
Last week, I started with several pounds of mushrooms,
cleaned and packed into a stockpot
with water, butter, red wine,
and a handful of simple seasonings.
Once everything goes in,
the pot looks impossibly full —
but over time, it slowly cooks down.
I let it simmer covered for hours,
then uncovered to reduce even further.
The alcohol cooks off,
the flavours deepen,
and what you’re left with is rich, concentrated,
and incredibly comforting.
No salt added at the start —
the bouillon does the work.
You adjust at the end, if needed.
This is one of those dishes
that rewards patience.
You don’t rush it.
You let it do its thing.
Do you enjoy recipes that take all day,
or do you prefer quick and simple?
👇 I’d love to know.
