Recipe:

Yield: 6 cups / about 10 servings

Ingredients:

1 lbs chicken of the woods mushrooms

1 onion

1 garlic clove

Hard herbs: thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano

1/4 cup of white wine

1 cup vegetable or chicken broth

Salt

Pepper


Directions:

1. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper, let sit for 10 mins while you cut the onions and garlic. This allows the salt to seep into to mushroom.


2. Sear mushrooms on both sides in a pan over high heat with a splash of avocado oil, about 3 mins per side. Repeat with all mushrooms



3. Turn heat down to medium and sauté onions, garlic and herbs, stirring occasionally for 5 mins or until onions are translucent. Add a splash of wine and scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to remove any fond.


4. Add everything to your instant pot pressure cook on high for 40 minutes or slow cook for 5 hours.



  1. Dutch oven method: add everything to a dutch oven with a lid and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 1-2 hours or until fork tender.


5. Remove mushrooms from braising liquid and let cool to the touch.


6. Pull mushrooms into pieces like shredded chicken and serve in on your favorite meal in place of chicken.
