Special Notes

This classic French duxelles is perfect for stuffing or as a side dish. The combination of mushrooms and herbs creates earthy, savory flavor. The key is to cook the mushrooms until all liquid evaporates. This dish is perfect for special occasions and can be made ahead of time. For extra flavor, you can add different herbs or spices. The duxelles should be served hot for the best taste.
