Mushroom in a Cream Sauce

If you love mushrooms like I do, you will find ways to prepare it differently and bring new taste to it. This is one of my favorite ways. Cream and mushroom goes quite well anytime you make it.


For this recipe, I used white button mushrooms. If you like, you can use baby Portobello mushrooms too. This recipe requires caramelizing of mushrooms and onions in mushroom essence. This is what brings the flavor out of it.

Also it can be prepared in 15 minutes maximum. This is my quick go to recipe, when I don't have time and want something good to eat. So everyone, do give it a try. Trust me you will love it. :)

Servings: 3 people

Ingredients:

3 cups white button mushrooms
1 medium sized onion - chopped in small pieces
1 tbsp oil
2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup cream
salt and black pepper to taste

Recipe:

1. Take a large saucepan, add oil and heat it on high.
2. Add onions to this and cook until translucent in color. Keep stirring the whole time since heat is on high.
3. Once onions are cooked, add mushrooms. Heat is still on high. High heat helps mushrooms caramelize and get beautiful color on them.


4. Once mushrooms are 90% cooked, add garlic and cook for another minute or so.


5. After you start to get caramelized and garlic smell, add vegetable broth.
6. Let this come to a boil. Add cream, salt and pepper to this. Let this mixture come to a boil again.


7. After it comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and cook this until cream consistency gets thicker and is reduced to half.
8. Once done, close the heat and serve hot with grilled chicken, fish or rice. I served it on a bed of vegetable couscous.
