Saute Onions: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and saute until very tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Cook Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and continue sauteing for another 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are softened.

Add Tomato Puree and Broth: Stir in the tomato puree and beef or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Simmer and Season: Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Season with salt, pepper, and Maggi seasoning to taste.
-
Adjust Consistency and Flavor: If needed, adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more broth or simmering longer to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
-
Finish with Herbs (Optional): If using fresh herbs, stir them into the sauce just before serving. Parsley, thyme, or rosemary work well with this dish.
