How to Make Garlic Mushroom Sauce

  1. Peel and finely chop 4 cloves of garlic.
  2. Wipe 8 ounces of cremini mushrooms clean and slice thinly.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened and slightly browned.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry red wine (like Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon) and add 1/2 teaspoon of black peppercorns.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/4 teaspoon of salt (or to taste). Simmer for another minute, being careful not to boil.
  8. Drizzle the sauce generously over roasted chicken, grilled steak, or your favorite protein.
  9. Enjoy!
