Ann’s Mushroom Ragout

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms (oyster, cremini, porto, shiitake etc), chopped
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 fat clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup dry Marsala
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
5 basil leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour (+ if need thicker)
optional: ½ - ¾ c. grated parmesan (skip butter/flour if adding parmesan)

*Heat oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion.
*Sprinkle w 1/2 t of salt & 1/4 t of pepper; saute until the juices evaporate, about 8 min.
*Add the garlic; saute until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 2 minutes longer.
*Decrease heat to medium-low. Add Marsala. Cover, simmer until Marsala has reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
*Stir the flour and 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl to form a paste, then stir the paste into the mushroom mixture.
*Cover and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
*Stir in parsley and basil. Season the ragout, to taste, with more salt and pepper.
*Add parmesan, if desired, and stir.
Mmmmm! I know what we're having for dinner next week (I don't cook on weekends ).
