Description

This creamy mushroom sauce recipe is a versatile creation that I conjured up years ago. It’s perfect as a surprise filling at the bottom of stuffed potatoes, but its uses extend far beyond that. Whether paired with chicken, tossed with pasta, thinned out for a delightful soup, or drizzled over a favorite cut of steak, this sauce never fails to impress. For an extra touch of richness, consider adding a splash of wine while sautéing the onions.

Recipe Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic. Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly.

2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté them until softened, without letting them brown.

3. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and tarragon leaves to the skillet. Continue cooking until the mushrooms have softened, stirring occasionally. This should take just a few minutes.

4. Add Sour Cream and Chicken Stock: Once the mushrooms are soft, pour in the sour cream and stir to combine. If desired, you can also add a splash of chicken stock at this point for added flavor.

5. Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

6. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thin for your liking, you can thicken it by making a water-flour slurry. Simply mix together equal parts water and flour until smooth, then gradually stir it into the sauce until you reach your desired consistency.

7. Season: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.

8. Serve: Once the sauce is heated through and has reached your desired consistency, it’s ready to serve. Spoon it over your favorite dish, whether it’s chicken, pasta, steak, or anything else you desire.

Recipe Notes

• Feel free to customize this sauce to suit your taste preferences. You can add different herbs such as thyme or rosemary for added flavor.
• For a richer sauce, consider adding a splash of white wine along with the sour cream.
• Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
• If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend it with an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth.
