Duxelles (dook sel')
Noun
is a finely chopped mixture of mushrooms, onions, shallots and herbs sautéed in butter. It is a basic preparation used in stuffings and sauces (notably, Beef Wellington).
It is said to have been created by the 17th-century French chef Francois Pierre La Varenne (1615–1678) and to have been named after his employer, Nicolas Chalon du Ble, marquis d'Uxelles, marechal de France.
