Side Dish: Mushrooms and Tomatoes

Sausage, Mushrooms and Tomatoes, originally uploaded by essgee51.

Partially inspired by watching The Fellowship of the Ring the previous night, this dish is luxurious and yet soft enough for someone recovering from dental surgery. Served here with duck sausage from Canales.

• 1-2 T butter
• 1 large shallot (2-3 T)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8-10 oz. mushrooms, sliced
• 1 large tomato (about 1 cup), sliced
• salt and pepper to taste
• parsley for garnish

Heat butter till foam's dissipated. Saute shallot and garlic till soft, 2-3 minutes.

Add mushroom and tomato; season with salt and pepper, then cook till desired texture is reached (5-10 minutes for soft mushrooms and tomatoes with a bit of body to them - ymmv).

Adjust seasoning and serve.
