Recipe - Soko Arazhanit (Mushrooms in Cream)

By far this was the easiest of the dishes.  I'm a big fan of mushrooms so I was predisposed to like this!  The dill was an interesting flavor combo with the cream.

Soko Arazhanit (Mushrooms in Cream)

Ingredients:

• 1 T butter
• 1 pound of mushrooms, trimmed and thickly sliced
• 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 2-inch piece of cinnamon stick
• 2 bay leaves

Directions:

1. In a sauce pan, saute the mushrooms in the butter.  
2. Warm the cream in the microwave for about 60 seconds to remove the chill.  Pour over the mushrooms.
3. Sprinkle in the spices and stir well..
4. Cover and simmer the mixture for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.  During this time, stir occasionally. 
5. Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon before serving.
