Mushrooms In Marsala Wine Funghi Alla Marsala Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Line a small sieve with cheesecloth and add the mushrooms. Strain and reserve the soaking liquid. Squeeze the mushrooms in the sieve to extract their juices.
• Heat the oil in a casserole and add the soaked, drained mushrooms, garlic and rosemary. Cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the reserved soaking liquid and cook down over high heat until most of the liquid evaporates.
• Add the fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are wilted. Add the Marsala and cook, stirring occasionally but gently, until the wine is almost but not quite evaporated. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add Marsala wine and garlic; bring to a boil. Boil for 5 to 6 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cream and simmer until thickened and heated through, about 5 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, fill a large pot with about 4 quarts water. Set the burner to high and bring to a boil. Add ravioli to the boiling water. Cook until they float to the top of the water, 6 to 8 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain.
• Pour a generous amount of sauce over hot ravioli and top with fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Clean and take stems off (optional) the mushrooms.
• Place mushrooms in a sauce pan at medium to high heat, sprinkle them with the salt and cover them almost completely with a lid for about 8-9 minutes. Stir them a couple of times just so they don't burn.
• You want them to render just about all of their water, reducing them in size and growing in flavor. Once they've rendered just about all their water and the bottom of the pot is dry.
• Add the oil, the basil and the garlic and saute, browning the mushrooms a bit and always stirring so that the garlic does not burn.
• After about 1 minute of sauteing add the balsamic vinegar and stir for about 30 seconds (the balsamic should boil as it hits the pan) and keep stirring.
• Lastly, turn the heat a little bit higher and add the marsala wine, stirring and deglacing the bottom of the saucepan as well as burning off the alcohol.
• Continue to stir for 1 minute or so until the balsamic and marsala sauce begin to thicken a bit. Take off the heat and let it cool.
