Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 oz (150 g) button mushrooms
- 5 fl oz (150 ml) heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp ground sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp cooking oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Heat the cooking oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry until lightly browned (about 5 minutes). Reduce heat to medium.
- Cook the Sauce:
- Add the thickened cream to the saucepan with the mushrooms. Season with ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, ensuring the cream doesn’t overboil.
- Add Garlic and Parsley:
- Once the sauce has reduced by half, add the crushed garlic. Cook for another minute to infuse the garlic flavor.
- Finish and Serve:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Top the sauce with chopped parsley. Serve hot over your favorite steak or pasta.
- Reheat Instructions:
- To reheat, place the saucepan on low heat and let the sauce melt and heat through gently.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use cremini or shiitake mushrooms instead of button mushrooms.
- To prevent the sauce from separating, whisk the cream continuously while simmering.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
