Creamy mushroom sauce

Creamy mushroom sauce that goes with just about everything! Steak, grilled chicken, potatoes, and vegetables sky's the limit when it comes to this sauce. It’s also sort of healthy as it’s made with just mushrooms and milk, no cream required.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ tablespoon oil
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 250 grams mushrooms sliced
  • 3 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable stock or use 1 stock cube dissolved in water
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder or red chili flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian herbs

Instructions

  • Heat butter and oil in a small saucepan.
  • Add sliced garlic and fry for about a minute till light golden.
  • Add onions and sauté till soft.

  • Add flour and sauté for a minute or so till the raw flavour disappears.
  • Add milk and vegetable stock and cook on low heat till the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Make sure to stir vigorously with a whisk at this stage to ensure that there are no lumps.
  • Once the sauce is thickened, season with salt, black pepper powder, red chili powder or flakes and Italian herbs.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning at this point. In case the sauce is too thicken, add a few tablespoons of milk.
  • Garnish with mushrooms on top and serve hot.
  • Serve with beef steaks, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes or vegetables.
