Marsala, a fortified Italian wine recognized for its golden brown color and sweet, nutty flavor, is used in both sweet and savory dishes. Along with the smoky mushrooms in this recipe, the wine creates a rich, aromatic sauce. Dry sherry is a good substitute for Marsala. Made this recipe and it was delicious! There was not enough sauce. I increased to 2 cups of Marsala and 1 stick of butter. Probably increases the calories but it's definitely worth it! Also, you can change out the mushrooms and use baby portabella mushrooms.
Sautéing brings out the shiitake mushrooms' strong smoky flavor. Doing so in Marsala, a nutty and sweet fortified wine, creates a surprisingly complex flavor profile with just a few ingredients.
