About duxelles
Duxelles is a classic French preparation of finely chopped mushrooms cooked down with aromatics and butter. This profile follows Kelli Foster's recipe, selecting white button mushrooms from its documented mushroom choices.
Mushrooms develop a concentrated earthy savouriness as their moisture cooks away. Butter adds richness, while shallot and garlic bring sweetness and depth and parsley gives a fresh finish.
The finished mixture is dark brown, finely textured and almost paste-like. It is moist enough to bind together but dry enough that no liquid pools around the mushrooms.
