Description
A rich and flavorful wild mushroom sauce that enhances the taste of various dishes.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces mixed wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster), cleaned and sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional for richness)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and have released their moisture.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
- Add the broth and soy sauce, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- If using, stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
- Serve this sauce over grilled chicken, steak, or pasta for a delicious meal.
- You can also substitute the mushrooms with your favorite variety or use dried mushrooms rehydrated in warm water for a different taste.
