3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 cups quartered mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped sweet red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Tabasco
salt to taste
3 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

In a hot sauté pan, add 1 tablespoon butter and cook the mushrooms. Set aside in a baking dish. Melt the rest of the butter and add the pepper, onions, thyme, and garlic. Sauté until slightly cooked and add the rest of the ingredients, except parsley. Cook for about 7 minutes on high heat until the cream is partially reduced. Salt to taste. Pour the mixture over the mushrooms and place in a hot oven until the cream mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and serve with crunchy French or Cuban bread to dip in the mixture. Serve with a crisp Sauvignon blanc or very cold dry champagne.
