2ouncesfresh honey mushroomscleaned, with 1-2 inches of their stems remaining
A good pinch½ teaspoon of chopped tarragon, parsley, and chives
1tablespoonlardlike duck fat, or flavorless cooking oil
1tablespoonunsalted butter
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepperto taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350. Heat a pan with the oil or other cooking fat, add the mushrooms and cook for 5-10 minutes on medium-high heat until the mushrooms have released their water. Take your time here, as honey mushrooms need to be thoroughly cooked.
Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and put the pan in the oven for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are wilted cooked through and very hot throughout.
Remove the pan from the oven and put the mushrooms back on the burner on medium-high and add the butter to the pan, along with the herbs. Taste of the mushrooms, adjust the seasoning as needed, then serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure to use these in a dish you will eat with a knife and fork. Draped over a steak, friend up with chunky summer squash, or on top of some braised greens are sounding good right now.
