Magnificent Creamy Mushroom Sauce

This is a fantastic sauce to go on your steak, or to stir through pastas and risottos. I found the ingredient combo online at taste.com.au and went from there. Enjoy!

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• Mushrooms, sliced as you wish (Cup, Flat, Portobello, Swiss Brown, any mushroom you like really!)
• 2 Tbsp. Butter/Margarine
• 75mL Cream
• 1 Clove of Garlic, crushed
• Basil or Mixed Herbs
• 3 Tsp. American/Dijon Mustard
• Pepper

Optionals:

• 50mL Dry White Wine (A nice wooded Chardonnay is ideal)
• Cumin Seeds
• Bacon Bits

The Sauce

1. Over low/moderate heat, melt butter in a small/medium saucepan until runny.
2. Add Garlic and Mushrooms (and Bacon if applicable)
3. Stir until mushrooms are tender and the butter has taken on a mushroomy colour.
4. Add mustard and herbs to taste (If you are using wine, add now and reduce)
5. Add cream and pepper (and cumin seeds if applicable) while stirring the sauce
6. Simmer for 5-10min, or until taste satisfies.

Serve as desired with a sprig of parsley to garnish.

This sauce really is so easy and tastes amazing! I hope you all enjoy it. For a more healthy option, always remember to substitute butter with low fat margarine, and to use reduced fat cream.

Keep Stirring and Smiling,
