Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 12 ounces mushrooms (cremini mushrooms, sliced or your favorite mix of mushrooms)
  • 2 shallots (1/4 cup, diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup beef broth (see note below)
  • 1/2 cup sherry wine (see note below)
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Mushrooms ... Add the olive oil and butter to a saute pan and bring to medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and shallots and saute for 5 minutes. Add the flour, and stir to incorporate. Then, slowly whisk in the sherry wine and beef broth. Season with a pinch of both salt and pepper. You can re-season again before serving. Simmer another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

  • Step 2: Finish .. Add the mascarpone, rosemary, thyme and mix to combine. Cook an additional minute just until everything is combined and heated through. Season again with salt and pepper if necessary.

  • Step 3: Serve and ENJOY! ... A perfect, rich, and decadent gravy. And, as I said; you can easily switch up the type of wine and broth depending on what you are serving this with. So, just because you don't have sherry wine, don't think you can't make this recipe.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
