Cooking Notes
this was better when I put the shallots and garlic into the butter before the hen-of-the-woods, rest of recipe stays the same.
Wow, this was incredibly delicious!! Star of the meal. The shallots took a bit longer to cook than 2 mins.
Made about half the recipe as the mushroom I found growing in my (Saint Louis) yard was about 1/2 lb. I loved the caramelized shallots. Easy and elegant. Hope this mushroom reappears soon!
Loved the thyme and garlic with the mushrooms.
Maybe ok as a sauce, but this mushroom not worth the price really

I added creme fraiche to the mixture and served it over pasta. Big hit!
Does anyone know how this would be if I made it the day before I needed it?
You’ll get that watery mushroom thing that happens but otherwise I think it would be fine.
I added a large dollop of creme fraiche at the end while still cooking, quickly incorporated it and served.
