a delicious side dish prepared in the microwave

Clean and chop the fresh mushrooms as usual. Place the butter and finely chopped onions in a glass bowl (or other suitable container) (without a lid) and sauté in the microwave for 6 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and white wine. Cover and cook for about 40 minutes. Once cooked, mix the gravy thickener or classic roux with crème fraîche and fold into the mushrooms. Then bring to a gentle boil for another 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Sprinkle with a little parsley before serving. I personally use a gravy thickener for this dish for simplicity’s sake. NOTE: This dish is based on a 600-watt microwave and must be converted accordingly to your own wattage. Here’s how: Divide the specified time by the desired wattage times the specified wattage: Example: Cook for 3 minutes at 1600 watts? Minutes at 600 watts Solution: 3 minutes divided by 600 watts = 0.005 times 1600 watts = 8 minutes.
