Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 oz white mushrooms sliced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves diced
  • 1 cup mavrodaphne wine
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 2 cus chicken broth
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • thyme sprigs
  • freshly ground pepper

Instructions

This recipe yields 2 cups of sauce.

  • Pour the chicken broth into a saucepan and let it simmer until it is reduced to ¼ of the original volume.
  • Place a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, and saute the mushrooms until golden brown.
  • Lower the heat, add the onion, and saute until caramelized for about 4 to 5 minutes; add the garlic and stir.
  • When the garlic is fragrant, pour the mavrodaphne and dry red wine, and simmer until the liquids are reduced to about one-third. 
  • Add the condensed chicken stock and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens.
  • Stir the butter in the sauce.
  • Add the fresh thyme herbs and stir. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. keep the sauce warm until serving.

Notes

  • Use the mushrooms you like. I use baby Bella, white button mushrooms, and portobello. They all work great.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tsp of cornflour/cornstarch with a tablespoon of the sauce or broth. Once the cornflour is dissolved, mix it in the sauce
