Cooking With Sherry
Sherry is kind of an old fashioned ingredient these days, but I still love it. It's an elegant addition to many dishes. One of my favorites is Sherried Mushrooms. Just saute the sliced mushrooms (any kind) in some butter, or olive oil until they are browned. Splash on some sherry and allow them to brown a little more. Sometimes I add some tomato paste, or cream. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. The mushrooms are good with eggs, on toast, or as an appetizer with crackers, or a french baguette...and maybe some fig jam as a condiment.
Speaking of figs...sherried figs are also delicious.
