I invented this recipe looking for a star-side dish to go with a fairly plan dinner of roasted chicken and salad. It was such a hit that I've made it a staple in my dinner-party side dish rotation! It's most-requested on chilly winter nights when everyone could use a little "happy" in the dinner hour.

  • 2 boxes fresh whole white or "baby bella" (cremini) mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup whiskey
  • - salt and pepper to taste

How To Make tipsy mushrooms

  • Step 1
    Brush dirt from the mushrooms (do not wash) and pop off the stems.
  • Step 2
    Slice into approximately 1/4 inch slices.
  • Step 3
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  • Step 4
    Add mushrooms and gently stir to coat. Add a good pinch of Kosher or Sea salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    Once mushrooms begin to wilt a little and the juices are coming out, add the garlic. Stir frequently to keep the garlic moving so it doesn't brown.
  • Step 6
    Once the mushroom juices have evaporated, add the whiskey and slightly lower heat. Allow to simmer, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are completely soft and the liquid is reduced.
  • Step 7
    Serve as a side dish or on top of poultry or steak or fat burgers. Also makes a great topping for crusty bread slices!
