How to Make Sherried Mushroom Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until mushrooms are softened and lightly browned.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 cup cake flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of beef or chicken stock and 1/4 cup dry sherry. Gradually whisk the hot stock mixture into the mushroom mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately over your favorite red meat or pork dish.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
