Sometimes you just want a bit of sauce...
August 10th 2011 23:45
I don’t particularly like heavy sauces with my food. So, anything with cream in it is avoided like the plague. However, sometimes you do just want some sauce on say, a piece of steak – though many have said that a good piece of steak cooked right shouldn’t need sauce…
My version of an Easy No Cream Mushroom Sauce.
What you need:
250-300g sliced mushrooms – I like a mix of button mushrooms and swiss browns
1 finely sliced shallot
1 clove of diced garlic
1 tablespoon of cornflour
100ml water
150ml white wine
a pinch of thyme
salt and pepper to taste
What to do:
1…Saute shallot and garlic till fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes.
2…Mix cornflour with water, and add to mushrooms. Add a pinch of thyme – if desired.
3…As sauce thickens, add the white wine and allow sauce to reduce to desired consistency. You might want to add more cornflour if you prefer it thicker – make sure to dissolve the cornflour in a bit of water before adding into the hot sauce.
4…Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
