KAYLA'S SAUTEED MUSHROOMS

We had a group over for dinner on Saturday that consisted of several carnivores and one vegetarian. This is what I invented as a meatless alternative to the shepherd's pie I served to the meat eaters. I was going to plop some mashed potatoes on it and bake it just like a shepherd's pie, but I decided against it and just served in with mashed potatoes on the side. Last night I had the leftovers tossed with pasta, so the possibilities are truly endless with this little dish :)

1 package white button mushrooms
1 1/2 stalks (?) of garlic chives
1 tablespoon of butter
a few glugs of Port
a few glugs of soy sauce
a few shakes of dried thyme

Chop the garlic chives into 1" pieces and saute in melted butter. Add mushrooms and, when starting to turn brown, add glugs of Port and soy sauce. Continue to stir, letting soy sauce and Port mostly evaporate. Add thyme, continue to saute, and serve once everything is sufficiently cooked.
