  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 6 cups sliced mushrooms, button, cremini or portobello

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • salt to taste
  • Grinding black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan. Add the onions and cook them slowly over medium low heat until they are very soft. Stir in the mushrooms; add salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pot and cook over medium low heat until the mushrooms are very soft and have exuded their juice.
