How do you usually sauté mushrooms? Toss them in the pan with oil or butter and cook, right? Not in this recipe for Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions. In this interesting twist to the commonly known method of preparation, you first blanch the mushrooms in salted water, then sauté them in butter and combine with separately caramelized onions to cook them together a little more.
