Ingredients

  • 1 Cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove Garlic crushed
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 Cup white wine
  • Salt and pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan set over high heat add the olive oil, garlic and mushroom. Cook over high heat until the mushrooms have all browned and are softened. About 7 - 10 minutes.
  • Add the wine and continue to cook for about 5 - 7 minutes or until the wine has evaporated.
  • Push the mushrooms to the side of the saucepan. Add the butter and mustard to the pan and let it melt, then toss over your flour. Stir quickly and you will see a paste form around the mushrooms.
  • Pour in a little milk enough to get a thick paste. Pour in the rest of the milk and whisk for a few minutes until you have a smooth and thickened sauce. Bring to a simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and lots of black pepper.
  • Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

  1. You can substitute the wine with chicken stock if you prefer.
  2. If the sauce is a little bitter, at 1/2 teaspoon of sugar at the end and stir well.
  3. Sauce can be made in advance!  Make ahead and allow to cool completely.  Store in an airtight container up to one day before.  To reheat - put it in a sauce pan over medium heat and stir really well.  Bring to a simmer.  If the sauce is still too thick, add a little milk to thin it out a bit.
