Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup sherry
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 to 5 pieces cloves
  • 500 grams mushrooms (about 1 pound)
  • salt and pepper, to season
  • parsley, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium to large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once it's ready, add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion softens.
  • Add the tomato paste and cloves and adjust the heat to medium-low.
  • Cook for two to three minutes while mixing constantly.
  • Pour the sherry and the water and adjust the heat to medium-high.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat back to medium-low and simmer for twenty-five minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms, mix, and continue simmering until they are almost cooked.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper.
  • Continue cooking with the lid, partially covering the pan, for ten to fifteen minutes --- mixing occasionally.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer into plates.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley --- and serve!

Notes

  • Cook's Tip #1:  Do not use a lot of cloves if you don't like them.  Two to three pieces are a good starting point to give just a hint of their flavor to the dish.
  • Cook's Tip #2:  If you want your sherry mushrooms with more sauce, leave a smaller gap uncovered instead of halfway covered.
  • Refer to the post's 'Recipe Variation' section for substitutes.
