Ingredients for Delicious Mushroom Sauce:
- 150 g mushrooms (cremini or button);
- 60 g onion;
- 50 g butter;
- 300 ml cream;
- 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour;
- 4 tsp. oil;
- salt and pepper to taste.
How to make mushroom sauce from scratch:
- Chop onion into the smallest pieces you can.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium to high heat and add chopped onion. Sauté onion until soft and golden. Do not omit this ingredient as onion adds more flavor to the sauce.
- Thoroughly wash mushrooms under cold water, pat them dry, and cut the same as the onion. Into the smallest pieces, you can. Add to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes.
- Take the separate skillet and make the sauce. First, add flour and fry it until the color becomes creamy.
- Add butter to the skillet, and stir constantly until the mixture becomes like in the picture I have.
- Add cream; keep stirring the mixture until it becomes smooth, and try getting rid of all the lumps. Cream is a great way to soften the taste of mushrooms.
- Simmer cream at low heat for 2-3 minutes and then add it to the skillet with sautéed mushrooms and onion.
- Stir the mixture and cook it for at least 5 minutes at low heat in a skillet covered with a lead. Season sauce to your taste with salt and pepper. If you like some special type of herbs, add them to the sauce. I tend to use dry basil, thyme, or rosemary.
- After seasoning take the skillet off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to incorporate all the flavors and then serve. Enjoy!
