Mushroom Sauce

Mushroom Sauce

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and chop the onion.

    Slice the mushrooms thinly.

    Tip: You can use either fresh mushrooms or mushrooms from a jar. The price difference is negligible, and the ones from a jar make the job easier. Mushrooms from a jar are usually slightly sour, which is worth keeping in mind.

    Salt if you like. Cook the sauce for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    The mushrooms will release their water very quickly (and the cream is liquid too), but be careful until they do: so that the onion doesn't burn, you may need to add a little water, and of course stir the sauce.

    Tip: If the sauce is not thick enough, add cornstarch. It can cause lumps, but more vigorous stirring breaks them up.
