Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 200 grams button mushrooms, sliced
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 180 milliliters chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and take on a golden brown color.
Pour in the white wine and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing it to reduce by half. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chicken stock and tomato paste, ensuring the paste is thoroughly incorporated. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the fresh tarragon and parsley. If using, add the heavy cream for a richer, creamier texture.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the chasseur sauce warm, poured over your choice of chicken, veal, or pork.
