- 10. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium heat.
- 11. When the butter melts, add the mushroom/onion mixture.
- 12. Add the thyme, salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
- 13. Stir until the mushrooms release their moisture, and then evaporates, about 6 - 8 minutes.
- 14. Add the second tablespoon of butter, and after it melts, add the wine, and stir until the liquid evaporates, about 6 - 8 minutes.
- 15. Remove from the heat and do a tasting for proper seasoning.
- 16. PLATE/PRESENT

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Finely chop the mushrooms in a food processor.
- Scrape the mushrooms onto a clean cotton kitchen towel. (Choose an old towel as the mushrooms will stain it. Do not use terry cloth.)
- Over a sink, twist the towel around the mushrooms to wring out as much liquid as possible.
- Heat a large (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to melt and avoid burning.
- Add the mushrooms, shallot, thyme, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms appear dry and begin to brown, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and, when melted, add the vermouth.
- Cook until the vermouth has evaporated, stirring frequently. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

DUXELLES: A WAY OF PRESERVING YOUR MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Trim off, if necessary, the woody part of the mushroom stems, and with a damp cloth wipe off any dirt (don't immerse the mushrooms in water). Chop both stems and caps into small dice. Spread them out on a towel, and sprinkle the salt over them. After about 10 minutes, pat dry to remove excess juice. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a fairly large skillet, toss in the shallot, and sauté it gently for about 2 minutes. When the mushrooms have released their liquid, add them to the shallot, and cook together few minutes, until the pan is dry. Cool, and store in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze.
