Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 medium, finely chopped Shallots
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 8 ounces, sliced Cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup Dry Marsala wine
- 0.75 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook them until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the dry Marsala wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow the wine to reduce by half, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the low sodium chicken broth and add the fresh thyme leaves and ground black pepper.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Make sure there's no lump before proceeding.
Step 7
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet, stirring continuously to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium Marsala sauce over your choice of cooked chicken, veal, or as a rich topping for a mushroom dish.
