Mushroom And Walnut Spread Or Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    16 ounces portabella mushrooms, the baby type, coarsely chopped
    1 onion, coarsley chopped
    5 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 teaspoon coarse salt
    1 teaspoon tarragon
    black pepper
    3 tablespoons Chardonnay wine or 3 tablespoons pinot grigio wine
    1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped and toasted
    1 1/2 cups cilantro, stems removed and lightly packed
    1/2 lemon, juiced
Preparation
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions and cook for three minutes.
    Stir in garlic, salt, tarragon, and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, then raise heat slightly and cook for about 5-7 minutes more, until fond (I had to look up this word on the internet, but I don't know how else to state it here) starts to develop on the bottom of skillet and mushrooms and onions start to brown.
    Remove from heat; pour in wine and stir to release fond.
    Place walnuts in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
    Add cilantro and pulse to combine with walnuts.
    Add mushroom mixture and lemon juice. Pulse until ingredients are blended together; it won't be completely smooth.
    Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.
    Serve with pita chips or whatever you like.
