Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter

  • 2 pound fresh cremini mushrooms, halved

  • 12 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 - 2 fresh serrano chile peppers, stemmed, seeded, and chopped*

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • cup gold tequila

  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 cup Mexican crema

  • 2 tablespoon coarsely snipped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped green onion (1)

  • 1 small lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. In an extra large skillet melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, and chile peppers. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.

  2. Remove from heat. Stir in broth, tequila, oregano, salt, and coriander. Cook and stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates. Stir in crema; cook and stir over low heat until heated through. Sprinkle with cilantro and green onion. Serve with lime wedges.

*Tip:

Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
