Sweet onions truly do have a sweeter flavor than your standard yellow onion variety. If you have them on hand, they’re much better when sauteed with mushrooms. You can substitute the Worcestershire sauce with equal amounts of either soy sauce, red wine (a good quality dry red wine works best), balsamic vinegar, or beef stock. When cooking the mushrooms it is important to not rush. Allow them to cook off their water content. A splash of fresh (not bottled) lemon juice takes this tasty mushroom and onion side dish from amazing to out-of-this-world! To quickly clean your mushrooms (without getting them water-logged) brush them off with a damp towel or dry brush OR place them into a colander and spray them using your sink sprayer.
