Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 large carrot, finely chopped
• 1 large celery stalk, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and chopped
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced cremini and chopped shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are starting to brown.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is mostly evaporated.

Step 6

Stir in the vegetable broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, thyme leaves, and bay leaf. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the ragout simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot over pasta, polenta, or with crusty bread.
