Ingredients
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Mushrooms
- 16 ounces, sliced (preferably cremini or button mushrooms)
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
Tips
- For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine when you sauté the mushrooms.
- Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, aromatic note.
- This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream to loosen it if necessary.
