Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Burrata cheese
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1 minute.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them gently to coat them in the olive oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their moisture.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, pour in 1 cup of red wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Allow the wine to reduce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
- While the wine is reducing, prepare the burrata. Gently remove the burrata from its packaging and place it on a serving platter.
- Once the mushroom and wine mixture has reduced, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove the skillet from heat and spoon the mushroom and red wine mixture over the burrata cheese on the platter.
- Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve immediately while the dish is warm, allowing guests to scoop the creamy burrata and mushrooms together.
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Select fresh, creamy burrata and firm, fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- Wine selection matters: Use a medium-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir or Merlot that will complement the mushrooms without overpowering the delicate burrata.
- Control your heat: When sautéing garlic, keep the temperature medium to prevent burning, which can create a bitter taste.
- Don't rush the wine reduction: Allow the wine to simmer and reduce slowly, concentrating the flavors and creating a rich, glossy sauce.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed warm, with the burrata at room temperature and the mushrooms still steaming.
- Garnish generously: Fresh parsley not only adds color but brings a bright, fresh contrast to the rich, earthy flavors.
- Pair with crusty bread: Serve with a rustic Italian bread to soak up the delicious wine-infused mushroom sauce.
