Preparation
Step 1
Any mushrooms will do - forest mushrooms, champignons, or oyster mushrooms, fresh or frozen. Forest mushrooms need pre-boiling; cultivated mushrooms just need rinsing.
Step 2
Peel and dice the onion. To avoid eye irritation, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. To prevent the cutting board from absorbing odor, rub it with a piece of lemon before chopping.
Step 3
Carefully clean the champignons with a sponge. Don’t soak them - mushrooms absorb moisture and become watery and less flavorful. Pat dry with paper towels, then quarter them. Don’t chop too finely as mushrooms shrink when cooked.
Step 4
Wash, peel, and cut potatoes into large cubes.
Step 5
Set the multicooker to a frying/sauté mode (name may vary by model). Set the time to 20 minutes if adjustable. Preheat slightly, pour in neutral vegetable oil, add onion, and sauté, stirring, 5-7 minutes until golden. No lid needed.
Step 6
Add mushrooms to the sautéed onion, season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered, stirring, until moisture evaporates. The sauté program should end at this point.
Step 7
Add potatoes to the bowl, season, and mix. Add your favorite spices if desired. Pour in water - adjust amount for consistency: more for a looser dish, less for thicker. Use boiled water as the stew mode doesn’t bring liquid to a boil; I added about 1/2 cup.
Step 8
Close the multicooker lid and set to a stewing mode. Minimum 40 minutes (my cooker starts at 1 hour; I set it). When done, open, stir, and the dish is ready.
Step 9
Serve the stewed potatoes with mushrooms on plates, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and enjoy.
