Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Chicken of the Woods mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cooking sherry
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep The Mushrooms: Start by cleaning the Chicken of the Woods mushrooms. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt, but avoid soaking them in water, as they can become too soggy. Slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Sauté The Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Cook The Mushrooms: Add the sliced Chicken of the Woods mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll notice the mushrooms will start to release moisture and develop a beautiful golden-brown color.
  • Add Tomatoes & Sherry: Once the mushrooms are slightly crisped, add the halved cherry tomatoes and the cooking sherry. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Season & Serve: Finally, season the dish with salt, pepper, and fresh basil leaves. Remove from heat and serve warm. I love pairing this dish with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad!
