Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp chopped shallot
  • 1 cup each chopped fresh shiitake, baby Portobello and white mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine

  • 12 oz. pkg. wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp. water
  • Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

  1. In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to a large bowl. In same skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallot; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in mushrooms and wine; cook until mushrooms are tender, 8-10 minutes. Add to beef. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper.

  2. Place about 2 tsp filling in center of each wonton wrapper. Combine egg and water. Moisten wonton edges with egg mixture; fold opposite corners over filling and press to seal.
