2 teaspoons butter
3 shallots finely chopped
1/4 cup dry sherry (optional)
1/4 cup chicken (or vegetable) broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried fennel

1/4 to1/2 cup (1 to 2 ounces) blue cheese
2 cups grilled or roasted harvest vegetables* (red peppers, squash, asparagus, etc.) or pasta
Freshly chopped parsley (optional)

1. Add butter to 12-inch non-stick skillet. Sauté shallots over low heat until transparent, approximately 10 to15 minutes. Add sherry, chicken broth, salt, fennel and pepper. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Add mushrooms. Cook until liquid is absorbed.
