Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 whole shallots
• 200 grams cremini mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel and halve the shallots lengthwise. Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into even pieces. Mince the garlic finely.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, add the shallots cut side down. Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to caramelize.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the white wine to the pan and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the fresh tarragon, salt, and black pepper. Stir to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Drizzle the dish with the lemon juice and remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or a topping for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
