How to Make Chianti Mushroom Sauce

  1. Clean and remove the stems from the 2 large portabello mushrooms. Peel the skin from the mushroom caps.
  2. Finely slice the mushroom stems and cut the caps into 1/2-inch strips.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of Chianti wine, stirring gently to incorporate.
  5. Simmer until the wine has reduced by half (about 3-4 minutes).
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of stock and 1 tablespoon of flour with 1/2 cup of water until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk the stock mixture into the simmering mushrooms, stirring constantly.
  8. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer gently, without boiling, for another 2-3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  9. Once the sauce is smooth and creamy, serve immediately over your favorite steak, fried potatoes, or toasted bread.
