Making mushroom sauce with cooking cream is not only super tasty but also very easy. The sauce is ready in 20 minutes! Delicious with pork tenderloin, steak, omelet, pasta, or baked potatoes! What's not good about this?
Mushroom Sauce with Cream and White Wine
How do you make a simple piece of meat, an omelet, or a plate of pasta even tastier? Serve with a delicious sauce!
And so I have a few basic sauces that I can always make. An old-fashioned butter sauce for fish and asparagus, red wine sauce, or Cumberland sauce.
And this mushroom cream sauce is a sauce that always works. Combine mushrooms with pasta, egg, and meat and everything tastes better. So if you only want to remember one sauce or write it down in your recipe folder, this is the all-rounder!
What do you need to prepare homemade mushroom cream sauce?
For the preparation of Mushroom Sauce with Cream you need the following ingredients (you can find the amounts at the bottom of the blog in the recipe card):
How do you clean mushrooms?
Cut a slice off the underside of the stem with a sharp knife. Then use a brush or dry paper to clean the top. Do not use water. Mushrooms absorb the water and therefore have less flavor.
What wine do you use?
Use a dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. The alcohol evaporates by cooking the sauce. If you prefer not to use wine, replace it with 1 cup (250 ml) stock.
Cream or light cream?
In this recipe, you can use both. Light cream (20 % fat) is the light version of heavy cream (at least 36 % fat), with the same result when preparing this sauce. You use it to give the mushroom sauce a creamy taste.
Which stock do you recommend?
In this recipe, use ½ cube of vegetable stock (which you use to prepare 2 cups (½ liter) of stock. If you have a cube for 4 cups of stock (1 liter), use ¼ part of the cube. You can also use chicken stock cubes.
