Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 150g brown mushrooms, finely chopped*
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped

Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium-large frying pan and once hot, fry the mushrooms until they have reduced in size and browned nicely.
- Add another tablespoon olive oil to the pan and add the onions, carrots and garlic. Fry for 4- minutes until the onions are soft.

- Add the red wine and allow to simmer on medium-high until almost completely reduced, 3-4 minutes.
