9 hour burgundy mushrooms - a kick butt side dish

edited August 2014 in EggHead Forum
These were a side dish with our Steak au poivre tonight. This recipe raced like a wildfire through Greeneggers.com 4 years ago. These mushrooms are still a favorite side of ours...and yes 9 hours is worth the effort!

    Not at all but we've had a tiring day, so let me post it tomorrow! Ok? BTW I even served several pounds of these at the Peoria Eggfest a couple years ago and they were scarfed down as appetizers.

    Looks excellent my friend. Standing by until tomorrow for the recipe.

    Gotta admit that my attention span will need some serious help to run past around 45 minutes much less than nine hours but I will give it a look since @RRP is a great cook and forum participant-not to mention the Rutland man!  Until 8/10!

    I never said it was my recipe, but I have made some notes about our preferences that others might get some benefit from. I'll still post those tomorrow...Good night!

    Hello again, everyone. Last night @marysvilleksegghead had already posted this link to the recipe:

    Over the years I have made this several times and the great thing about the finished dish is it can be divided and frozen so it can be enjoyed with ease even a couple years later! I simply know that for my wife and I we will be full sharing 16 to 18 of these finished mushrooms so I divide from there. BTW count wise I have found a 4 pound package will have around 80 mushrooms.

    I follow the recipe for the most part except for the 5 cloves of garlic instead of just leaving them peeled I prefer them to be smashed and scattered. Also 2 teaspoons of salt is not enough for our tastes and I use 4 teaspoons of coarse kosher salt instead. Also to enhance the deep rich color I add 1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet.

    The first time I made it I used a good burgundy which cost me $15 for a standard 750 ml bottle. Since then I have found that cheaper Glenook Burgundy from Kroger works just as well! Just don't use any old stale burgundy which may have already started to turn sour and have a vinegar smell or taste.

    Though the recipe says 9 hours be sure to keep a good eye on them the last 3 hours when cooking uncovered as the liquid may bubble and get too concentrated, so cut it to 7 or 8 hours if need be, but I like too run the 9 hours myself.

    Lastly as for freezing I divvy up the mushrooms into Food saver bags and then divide the delicious "juice" amongst the number of FS bags. Be sure the juice is still warm and the butter has not yet started to firm up. I then fold over the edge and just place a bag clip on the bags and stand them upright in a shallow dish and place all in the freezer. The next day when frozen then I seal the FS bags. This does two things...keeps the juice from being sucked into the machine plus now being frozen the mushrooms will retain their shape and will not be flattened into a glob that they would have been if vacuum sealed while still flexible.

    One last thing - these are rich!!!

    Oh and BTW the Steak au poivre itself was terrific! It was a mighty fine rib eye in itself, but Jaccarded to assure tenderness. And the cognac I used was Remy Martin! Between the steak and mushrooms it was a hearty, wonderful meal last night!

    Bookmarked! 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    YES it is a great recipe.  Someone think Ron got it from Pioneer Woman:

    http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/09/burgundy-mushrooms/
    Have made several batches over the last few years, even tried for 9 hours in a high crock pot--did not like the crockpot as well as the original. Remember them well. Every time I go in Winn Dixie (about twice a week) I cruise the shroom section and when they are on sale or drastically marked down grab 4-5 #s' and make a pot. PS they freeze  very well in portion size food saver bags.

    What's with the tude? Ron made it clear it was just a great recipe and not his when he said "This recipe raced like a wildfire through Greeneggers.com 4 years ago"
    I know I immediately did a search and found quite a few resources that all named the source.
