Sweet Onions and Mushrooms From the Skillet
Total time: 22 minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet onions (about 18 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoon sunflower or safflower oil
  • 1 1/2 cup thinly sliced assorted mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster, maitake, shitake (about 6 ounces)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, cilantro, basil, tarragon, parsley
Directions
  1. Cut 2 large sweet onions in half through the stem end. Set cut side up on the cutting board, then thinly slice at an angle to create wedge shaped pieces.
  2. Heat a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons sunflower oil and then onion slices. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until onions are golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 ½ cups mushrooms; cook and stir until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cloves crushed garlic and ½ teaspoon salt; cook 1 minute.
  4. Refrigerate covered up to 1 week. Serve warm sprinkled with ¼ cup chopped mixed herbs.
