Ingredients

  • 14 cup minced shallots or 14 small onion (if no shallots are available)
  • 2 ounces unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 12-34 cup dry white wine
  • 1 12 ounces jus de poulet lie gold demi-glace (or your own personal base of roasted chicken stock)
  • hot water (up to 5 ounces)
  • fresh ground black pepper

Method

  • Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium high heat and saute shallots/onions until they become translucent.
  • Add the wine, then the mushrooms, and cook until most of the wine is cooked off.
  • The mushrooms will also release their liquid at this time, so it will take a little while for the liquid level to reduce.
  • Add the pepper and the Jus de Poulet Lie Gold, and let it melt in the pan.
  • Whisk in about 1/2 of the hot water (add more if it still seems too thick at this point); taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary; simmer for about 6 minutes, or until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
