Mushroom Sauce Recipe or Mushroom Gravy Recipe that is super easy to make, rich and creamy. A nutritious and flavoursome creamy sauce recipe that works with everything you can imagine.
Use this homemade sauce recipe with your steaks to chicken, pork chops to roasts, omelettes and baked potatoes. The only thing that will limit you is your imagination.
Psst! Mushroom Humour – Did you know when a mushroom walks into a bar, the bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve your kind here.”
The mushroom says, “Why not? I’m a fungi?” (Fungi = fun guy. Get it?) :D
What kind of mushrooms can I use for homemade mushroom sauce recipe?
Any type of mushroom can be used to make this sauce. This includes button or cup mushrooms, wild mushrooms or a mixture. For now, I have used white button mushrooms.
Depending upon their availability, you can try to make this recipe with cremini, porcini, shiitakes, chanterelles, and even baby white button mushrooms.
The mushrooms may be finely chopped, thinly sliced or cut into chunks depending on your preference.
To make this sauce smoother and creamier you can passed it through an upright blender. You can also use an immersion blender right in the pan.
What can I pair this sauce with?
You can make this recipe and pair it your meats. You can go wild with your steaks, pork chops, grilled chicken, steamed fish or meatballs.
You can use this super easy recipe for your baked pasta. Simply pour it over the pasta for a delicious meal. It is equally delicious with rice as a mushroom gravy.
Pour this sauce over roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, or hash browns. Pair it with asparagus, cauliflowers, boiled vegetables, or even a mix of sauteed vegetables.
Or, just eat the sauced mushroom by itself with some toasted sourdough bread or any other bread of your liking.
