Mince of mushrooms with chopped shallot and herbs, used to flavour stuffing, soups, and sauces.
[dook-SEHL; deu-SEHL] A mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, shallots and herbs slowly cooked in butter until it forms a thick paste. It's used to flavor sauces, soups and other mixtures, as well as for a garnish.
Duxelles is a finely chopped mixture of mushrooms, onions, shallots and herbs sautéed in wine. 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 François Pierre La Varenne (1615–1678) and to have been named after his employer, Nicolas Chalon du Blé, marquis d'Uxelles, maréchal de France.
