Duxelles (mushroom Paste)

To make converts, we are tempted to play down the difficulties and play up the peace of mind and worldly success enjoyed by those who accept Christ. We will never be completely honest with our hearers until we tell them the blunt truth that, as members of a race of moral rebels, they are in a serious jam, and one they will not get out of easily. If they refuse to repent and believe on Christ, they will most surely perish. If they do turn to Him, the same enemies that crucified Him will try to crucify them.

INGREDIENTS

		Stems from 1 pound of
		mushrooms wiped very
		clean
		and minced very
		fine
1		Yellow onion, peeled and
		minced
		very fine
3	T	Unsalted butter
1/4	t	Salt
1	pn	Freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Bundle the mushrooms into a clean, dry dishtowel and wring out as much
liquid as possible; set aside for the time being.  In a small, heavy
saucepan, stir-fry the onion and shallots in the  butter over
moderately low heat for about 10 minutes, until very soft  and golden;
do not brown the onion mixture, as this will give the  duxelles a tinge
of bitterness. Add the mushrooms and suate, stirring  now and then,
over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until very thick  and pastelike.
Season with salt and pepper.  Shape the duxelles on a double thickness
of foil into a bar about the  size of a stick of butter, then wrap
snugly and freeze. To use simply  slice off 3/4-inch pats (about the
equivalent of 1 tablespoon) and  use to flavor soups, sauces, gravies,
stews, and the like. No need to  thaw the duxelles ~- simply add the
frozen pats.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Recipe by: COOKING LIVE  SHOW #
