A long cooking time, the results are worth every minute.

Ingredients

4 pounds white button mushrooms

1 liter Burgundy wine (other dry red wines will work)

1 cup beef stock

1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter

1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dill seed

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chicken stock

4 cloves garlic, peeled

Salt

Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

Step 1: Thoroughly wash the mushrooms and throw them into a large stockpot. Add the wine, boiling water, butter, Worcestershire sauce, dill seed, black pepper, beef and chicken stock and garlic. Stir to combine.

Step 2: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 6 hours.

Step 3: Remove the lid, and then continue cooking, uncovered, for 3 hours.

Step 4: Add salt to taste at the end of the cooking process. The mushrooms will be very dark in color. Serve straight from the pot or spoon the mushrooms and cooking liquid into a serving bowl.

Step 5: Have crusty bread nearby to soak up the deliciousness.
