Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 300 g mushrooms, sliced (any mushrooms can be used)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup white wine or rose, dry (for substitution use extra broth)
- ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or thickened cream)
- ½ cup parmesan, finely grated (ensure it's freshly grated)
- 2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ¼ - ½ teaspoon dried)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oil and melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and leisurely cook until golden brown - takes about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Just before they're done, add the garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden (~ 1 minute).
- Add white wine - it will sizzle! Stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, for 1 minute or until mostly evaporated.
- Add broth, cream and parmesan. Stir, then lower heat to medium so the sauce is simmering - do not boil rapidly, cream may split.
- Stir occasionally and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes until it thickens. It shouldn't be super thick, this is a rich sauce.
- Stir through thyme, adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from stove.
- Serve over steak or other cooked protein. Toss through pasta, stuff into baked potatoes, serve with roast beef, chicken or pork, smothered omelettes.
Notes
The sauce can be lightened by using low fat thickened cream or adjusting with cornstarch if using normal low fat cream.
