Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

• 20 oz sliced white mushrooms or wild mushroom medley (white, portobello, cremini, shiitake, oyster, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 6 to 8 stems peeled fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (can substitute with parsley)
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons crème fraîche
• 2 tablespoons Goldswarm honey
• 2 or 3 swirls of cracked rainbow or black pepper from a grinder
• Salt to taste

Method

1. In a deep sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and let them sizzle for about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and minced garlic, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
4. Season with freshly cracked pepper and salt to taste.
5. Deglaze the pan with white wine, letting it reduce until the juices become brown and evenly coat the mushroom medley.
6. In a small bowl, blend the Goldswarm honey and crème fraîche together.
7. Turn off the heat and stir the honey and crème fraîche mixture into the mushrooms until you achieve a rich, creamy consistency.
8. Stir in the butter for a glossy finish.
9. Transfer the mushroom medley to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chives, and serve hot.
