Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms (or button mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 125 milliliters White wine
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 125 milliliters Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or brushing off dirt. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until melted and bubbling slightly.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their liquid. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring well to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken.
Return the sautéed mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the sauce.
Season the sauce with dried thyme, grated nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the mushrooms just before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or over egg noodles, spaetzle, or mashed potatoes.
