Ingredients

  • ½ pound fresh mushrooms or mushroom stems, minced
  • 1 small onion or 1–2 shallots , minced
  • 1–2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Chopped parsley to taste
  • 1 pinch tarragon or thyme (optional)

Directions

1

In a frying pan , sauté the onion in butter until soft but not brown (about 3–5 minutes).

2

Stir in minced mushrooms, salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and tarragon.

3

Cook the mixture over medium high heat until the mushrooms give off a lot of liquid; that liquid will evaporate completely (about 5–10 minutes). The duxelles should look like a coarse mash.

4

Cool the mixture slightly, and taste for seasoning.
