Mushrooms with Chipotle Chiles
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 chipotle chiles
- 6 cups button mushrooms
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Cilantro, for garnish
Directions:
Soak the dried chiles in a bowl of hot water for about 10 minutes, until they are soft. Drain, cut o stems, then slit the chiles and cut out the seeds. Chop finely.
Trim the mushrooms, then clean them with a damp cloth. If they are large, cut them in half.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion, garlic, and chiles. Saute for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the mushrooms and fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Season to taste and garnish with cilantro.
Serves 6.

Substitutions:
I used chipotles in adobo sauce (only one and it had plenty of kick). Also, I sauteed the onion, garlic, and chile in about a tablespoon of oil, and then when I added the mushrooms, I added a bit of chicken stock. It cut down on the oil and gave the mushrooms a nice flavor.
