Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Shallot, finely chopped
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 60 milliliters Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 pinch Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Slice them into even pieces if they are large, or leave smaller mushrooms whole.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped shallot for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and softened.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the sautéed mushrooms to the skillet and stir them into the sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (if using). Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
