Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 1 cup chopped parsnip (1/2-inch)

  • 1 cup chopped carrot (1/2-inch)

  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms, halved

  • 1 large shallot, minced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 bay leaf

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups dry red wine

  • ¼ cup cognac or brandy

  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium vegetable or mushroom broth

  • 1 ½ cups frozen pearl onions, thawed

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, parsnip and carrot; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add mushrooms, shallot, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms soften, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in tomato paste; cook for 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds more. Add wine and cognac (or brandy); increase heat to medium-high and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid is reduced by about half, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, partially cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in pearl onions. Return to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

  4. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
