Ingredients
15gbutter
1tbspvegetable oil
250gmushrooms
175mlwhite wine
1tspmustardwe used Dijon
200mldouble cream
Instructions
Start by adding 15g of butter into a hot saucepan, and then 1 tbsp vegetable oil to stop the butter burning.
Now add the mushrooms. Chestnut, Cremini or Portobello you can use almost any kind you like.
Let them cook on a low heat. Avoid burning them and let them brown.
Add the white wine when the mushrooms are nice and soft and let it reduce by half.
Gradually add the mustard and stir in. I normally use Dijon but you can use whatever mustard you prefer.
Then add the double cream and let everything sit on a low heat for a minute or two, so the flavours get incorporated into the cream. You don’t want to just get a creamy flavor; you also want to taste the mushrooms. Don’t over reduce it.
Test for seasoning.
Extra tip
Try adding a splash of dry sherry to the sauce. It makes wonders!
