Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 pound fresh button mushrooms (sliced, reserve and sauté 1 cup for garnish)
- 2 teaspoons dried dill weed

- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup chopped parsley

Instructions
- Melt butter over medium heat in a 5 quart dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot. Add onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent.
