Serves
4-6 people
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs – Clarified unsalted butter
- 4 Cloves – Garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 – Shallot, fine diced
- 300g – Swiss Brown Mushrooms, thinly sliced. Swiss Brown Mushrooms give a nice favor and they also bring a nice color to the sauce
- 2 Tbs – White Wine (Use a cheap White Wine, I used Chardonnay) Can be substituted for Vegetable Stock or Chicken Stock
- 2 Tbs – Parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp – Thyme, chopped
- 400ml – Full Fat Cream (thickened cream)
- Coarse sea salt
- Olive oil
Preparation
- thinly slice and dice one shallot
- take the root off from each garlic clove and thinly slice it
- thinly slice the mushrooms
- thinly chop the parsley
- thinly chop the thyme
- bring a large saucepan or frying pan to a high heat
- add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. To stop the butter from burning add 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- Once the butter is melted add the garlic and one diced shallot Mix well and cook for about 30 seconds
- Add the 300 g of mushrooms and mix
- Cook for 6 to 7 minutes stirring frequently
- The mushrooms will reduce in size as they release their moisture
- add a small pinch of salt
- add 2 tbs of white wine
- cook for 1 minute to remove the alcohol as well as to glaze the pan. This means pulling all the flavors from the bottom of the pan into the sauce
- add the parsley and the thyme
- add the 400 ml of full fat cream and mix it through
- bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a medium and simmer away for 15 minutes or until the sauce is nice, thick and rich. During these 15 minutes, stir the pan frequently
- Turn off the heat and check for seasoning
- add a pinch of salt and some pepper and stir.
