THE COUNTESS'S MUSHROOMS

A rich treat for mushroom lovers

This recipe originated in Ken Kelly Cooks, and is presented with only minor additions and changes.

Ingredients

(serves 2 gluttons)

500 g fresh mushrooms sliced
60 g butter
30 ml flour
10 ml broth
35 cl sour cream
30 ml lemon juice
5 ml garlic powder
10 ml onion powder
2.5 ml nutmeg
2.5 ml tarragon
1 ml curry powder
2.5 ml black pepper, fresh ground
1 ml salt (or to taste)

Procedure

In a large frypan, melt the butter. Sautae mushrooms in butter until tender (about 5 minutes).
Mix flour and chicken base together. Sprinkle over mushrooms. Cook one more minute, stirring.
Add sour cream, lemon juice, and all seasonings. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more, stirring.

Notes

We use chicken broth or chicken bouillon. If you use a vegetable broth this is a vegetarian dish.

If you can resist digging in right away, cook this ahead of time to give the flavors a chance to mellow. At serving time, rewarm carefully over low heat. This is wonderful as a main dish served over rice, noodles or fettucini Alfredo.

Rating

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 15 minutes preparation, 10 minutes cooking.
Precision: approximate measurement OK.
