Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
Chicken Stock Mixture
- 1 Cup Low Sodium Chicken Stock
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Powdered Gelatin
Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 Pounds Mixed Mushrooms
- 1 Pinch Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 3/4 Cup Shallots, Finely Minced
- 2 Whole Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Thyme
- 1/2 Cup Dry White Wine
- 1 Teaspoon Fish Sauce
Garnish
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley, Chopped
Directions
- Pour stock into small small bowl or liquid measuring cup and evenly sprinkle gelatin over surface of stock. Set aside.
- In a large 12-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until moisture has evaporated and mushrooms are deeply browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Add shallots, garlic, and thyme and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and shallots are softened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add wine or sherry, and cook, swirling pan and scraping up any stuck-on bits with a wooden spoon, until wine is reduced by half, about 30 seconds.
- Add chicken stock mixture, season lightly with salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, add fish sauce (if using), and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushroom mixture is thickened to a saucy consistency, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Serve with cooked pasta, top with garnish if desired, and enjoy.
