Ingredients

2 or 3 Tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 cup chopped onion

3 large cloves of garlic, minced (about 2 tsp)

1 1/2 pounds mixed mushrooms, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste

1/2 cup dry, fruity wine such as a Pinot Noir or Merlot

1 1/2 cup cranberries, picked through and cleaned

3/4 cup unsweetened cranberry juice

1 cup low-salt or no-salt chicken broth

1 sprig thyme

Pinch of brown sugar if needed for balance

Directions

In a medium-sized skillet or wok heat the olive oil. Add the onions and cook until they start to become translucent, then add the garlic.

When the garlic is aromatic add the mushrooms, butter, and season to taste.

Cook a minute before adding the wine. (at this point grab a nice wine glass and start sipping and enjoying yourself), and continue to cook until the wine in the skillet is reduced by half.

Add the cranberries, cranberry juice, broth, and sprig of thyme.

Simmer until the juice and broth are reduced and the mixture is somewhat saucy.

Remove the thyme sprig, taste, and adjust the seasonings. Add some brown sugar if a bit of sweetness would balance the flavors.

Wow - how great is this? How in the world did I miss so many great recipes (yours) sitting here in one place? Was I abducted by aliens and out traversing the galaxies in some souped-up mothership?

I have no idea...but I am perplexed.

Anyway...this recipe sounds marvelous and you're right...it would compliment so many menus. I'm just reviewing all the great components and envisioning some earthy, flavorful, sweet-savory...fruit-veggie sauce/elixir.

I must make this. Am printing this one out, too. Nancy...you rock!
