INSTRUCTIONS

An impressive companion for roasted meats, poultry or game, this deceptively easy dish makes any meal an occasion.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes. Add crimini and shiitake mushrooms and the garlic; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon port, thyme, salt and pepper; cook until liquid evaporates, 3 minutes. Add oyster mushrooms; cook 2 minutes longer.

Yield: 4 servings (about 2 cups)
