Description
A delicious mushroom sauce recipe that goes really well with a tender fillet!
Ingredients
- 1 punnet mushrooms (250g), sliced
- 1 cup of cream (250ml)
- ½ cup milk (125ml)
- 2 tsp cornflour / cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop the mushrooms and fry them in the butter until they are cooked and beautifully browned.
- Add the Thyme and stir for another minute.
- Add the cream.
- Grind a little coarse salt and black pepper over the sauce.
- To prevent lumps, add the cornflour to the milk and mix together until smooth.
- Now add the milk and cornflour mixture to the mushroom sauce and stir gently with a wooden spoon. Allow the sauce to simmer and it will begin to thicken (will take 5-10 minutes). Keep stirring to prevent a milky film from forming on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat once thickened.
- Add more salt and pepper, if necessary.
