Rich and Creamy Mushroom Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups fresh mushrooms (e.g., button, cremini), thinly sliced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook until softened (about 3 minutes).
Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Cook the Mushrooms:
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
Cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
Make the Sauce Base:
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Add Cream and Seasonings:
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream.
Add dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Optional Cheese Addition:
If desired, stir in Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and creaminess.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm as a sauce for pasta, steak, chicken, or vegetables.
