Roasted onion stew with chestnut mushroom, savory, and grated radish.

This is Chef Frank Fol’s favorite mushroom recipe from his cookbook, Wild Cooking. The edition was made with his partner IIse, designer of the beautiful ceramic bowl we see in the photo above.

This dish is quick to prepare, and perfect for a warm and cozy fall dinner.

It is a cream of onion with Chestnut mushroom. The mushrooms are chopped into the soup itself, and whole in the center of the dish... like rock stars!

If you’re not familiar with Chestnut mushrooms, you may know them by one of their other names, Cremini.

The sweetness of the onion and the nutty flavor of the mushroom make this dish shine.

Frank recommends eating it with a glass of the traditional Belgian beer, Super Crown or Brewery The Crown.
