Ingredients

What do you need?

Quantity: 4p

500 g white mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
300 ml meat gravy
200 ml cream
Salt and pepper
1 splash of cognac

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Brush off any dirt from the mushrooms and slice them. Put the butter in the pan with the mushrooms, pepper, and salt, turn on the heat, and let them color nicely; take your time with this, the better they are colored, the better the flavor.

Deglaze with a glass of cognac, let it evaporate a bit, and then add cream and stock, let it come to a boil. If you want the sauce a bit thicker, add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in cold water.

Taste and season if necessary.
