Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 227 grams Button mushrooms
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 300 grams Frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat until melted.

Step 2

Clean and slice the button mushrooms. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mushrooms. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the empty space.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the melted butter and whisk for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. This helps to thicken the sauce.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the milk and whisk constantly to smooth out any lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, and combine everything in the skillet. Add the frozen peas and mix well.

Step 8

Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using. Let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat until the peas are tender and the sauce is creamy.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm.
