Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Creamy mushroom sauce made with thyme in a pan with a spoon
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Method

  1. In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and cook stirring until beginning to “sweat”, about 2 more minutes.

  2. Stir in the butter. Once the butter begins to bubble, add the cream, soy sauce, and thyme. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened slightly, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

  3. Serve with roast chicken, pork, steak or over cooked pasta.
