INGREDIENTS
 
 

  • 300 g mushrooms of your choice button mushrooms here
  • 1 onion or 1 shallot
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or 25 g butter about 0.9 oz
  • 1 beef or chicken bouillon cube
  • 150 ml water
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • Fresh or dried herbs of your choice Herbes de Provence, tarragon, etc. (optional)
  • 30 g grated Parmesan or Emmental (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons veal stock concentrate optional
  • Salt and pepper

PREPARATION

  • Clean the mushrooms by trimming off the dirty ends of the stems, then rinse them quickly, rubbing them gently in lemon water.
  • Let the mushrooms drain, then slice them.
  • Dissolve the beef bouillon cube in hot water.
  • Finely chop the onion and garlic.
  • In a sauté pan, cook the onion and garlic in olive oil or butter over medium heat.
  • When the onion becomes translucent, add the sliced mushrooms and stir.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then deglaze with the beef broth and veal stock.
  • Continue cooking until only a small amount of liquid remains.
  • At this stage, you can stop the cooking and finish the recipe just before serving to prevent the sauce from thickening too much.
  • Add the cream, grated cheese, and dried herbs.
  • Season with pepper to taste and add salt if needed (the bouillon cube is already quite salty).
  • Stir and let the sauce reduce until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve immediately.
