How to Make Port Wine Mushroom Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely chopped, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Toss until mushrooms are evenly coated.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup ruby port wine and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  4. Stir in 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, and 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the mushroom and flour mixture to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and the mushrooms are tender.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
