Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams wild mushrooms (such as porcini, chanterelles, or cremini), cleaned and sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 units shallots, finely chopped
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced wild mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, heavy cream, and thyme leaves. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve the mushroom cream sauce warm over your favorite pasta, steak, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
