Ingredients
- 250 grams wild mushrooms (such as porcini, chanterelles, or cremini), cleaned and sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 units shallots, finely chopped
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, add the shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced wild mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, heavy cream, and thyme leaves. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Step 9
Serve the mushroom cream sauce warm over your favorite pasta, steak, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
