For a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to puree the mushrooms before adding the stock.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat it on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
