Chef’s Note
Deglazing your pan allows you to enhance the flavor of this dish. When you add the wine, use your spoon to scrape the browned, caramelized bits off the bottom of the pan. Those pieces then mix with the sauce to add a richness to the sauce. Also, I like to not over-crowd the pan to make sure the mushrooms brown and caramelize evenly.

Can this be made ahead of time?
This recipe tastes best when made fresh, and it’s pretty quick to make, so prefer to prepare it the day of. However, if you need to get it ready in advance, you can cook the night before store the mushrooms in the fridge and and reheat them in the skillet before serving.
How to Store
- Store: If you have any leftovers, wait for the dish to cool. Then transfer to a sealed container to keep them fresh in the fridge. They can keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Reheat: When ready to enjoy your leftovers, add them to a cast iron skillet with a bit of butter over medium-low heat. Stir as you reheat until warmed through.
- Freeze: You can also freeze in a ziplock bag for up to 6 months. The mushrooms will keep their texture better if you drain the sauce before freezing. You can reheat them with additional wine to serve.
FAQs
The simple answer is a resounding yes. These mushrooms are low in calories and rich in B vitamins. They can help your immune system and have anti-inflammatory properties. They also contain similar amino acids to meat, which makes them an excellent addition to vegetarian diets in particular.
While you do use white wine in this recipe, you shouldn’t have to worry about your mushrooms being boozy or tasting at all like alcohol. Because you’ve already been caramelizing mushrooms in the same pan, the heat of the oil will help to dissipate most of the alcohol during the deglazing process. What remains is the bright, acidic flavor of the wine.
If you’re using fresh shiitake mushrooms, you’ll want to wash the dirt off before slicing. You can easily do this by adding the mushrooms to a bowl of water or running cool water over the top of the mushrooms in a colander. Quickly dry the mushrooms after cleaning them, and use paper towels to remove any additional dirt if needed.
