Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe

This sautéed mushrooms recipe makes the most scrumptious mushrooms. This is a great dish to serve with steak or chicken or for a brunch.

Wine Pairing: Use the same sparkling wine used in cooking these mushrooms to serve with your meal. Consider Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco is a light bodied sparkling wine from Italy with lively fruit flavors. This wine enhances the rich flavors of the sautéed mushrooms. An outstanding sparkler at a real bargain for a wine of this quality.
