Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add minced shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and most of the moisture has evaporated.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to reduce by half. This should take about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.
Add fresh thyme leaves and season with black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for another 5 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in lemon juice to brighten the flavors and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot over your choice of dish. This sauce goes well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a creamy pasta sauce.
