Ingredients

  • 1 12 lbs fresh porcini mushrooms or 1 12 lbs portabella mushrooms or 1 12 lbs cremini mushrooms
  • 4 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (optional)
  • salt & pepper

Method

  • Wipe mushrooms clean.
  • Seperate stems from caps and coarsely chop both parts.
  • Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • When hot, add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to release their liquid.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high and continue to cook and stir until the mushrooms reabsorb their liquid and begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in the same skillet.
  • Saute the onion until just browned on the edges, then turn heat down to medium until onions are deep golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine the mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a food processor until minced but not pureed.
  • In a large bowl combine the mushroom mixture, mayo, lemon juice, dill (if using), salt, and pepper.
  • Mix well.
  • Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to let flavors mingle.
