Mushroom Duxelle recipe makes a lovely sauce, dipping, filling and garnish! Now what’s a mushroom duxelle? It’s a mix of minced mushrooms, shallots, herbs and butter which is reduced to thick sauce. Duxelles were widely used anciently as spread on bread, pizza, pie and pastry filling. It can be used a side vegetarian dish Or can be clubbed with chicken Or meat.
I used my mushroom duxelle as spread on burger with mayo, cheese, lettuce and potato patty. If using duxelles as filling for pastry, puffs Or pies then it has to be thick and dried. Else the mushrooms would come out of the filling and create a disaster. So bear this in mind.
Duxelles are generally made with fresh mushrooms. Some also make from dried mushrooms. I have used fresh button mushrooms. Mostly herbs like parsley is added however I have added basil leaves. Also garlic, wine / vinegar, pepper are used.
I had made this as my hubbys isn’t fond of mushrooms so this sauce works perfectly fine. As nobody knows how the sauce is made and which ingredients’s are added 😉
