How to Make Hunter Sauce

  1. Dice bacon and saute in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving bacon drippings in the skillet.
  2. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Add the chopped onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked bacon to the skillet. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  5. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste is fragrant and dissolved.
  6. Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
  7. Add the beef broth and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Stir in the creme fraiche and parsley. Heat through, being careful not to boil.
  9. Spoon the Hunter Sauce generously over your sauteed chicken breasts, veal, or pork scallopine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
