Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb saffron milk cap mushrooms cut into large pieces
  • 2 tbsp butter divided
  • 1 tbsp oil or lard
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup orange wine or white wine
  • 1 cup stock grouse, chicken, or mushroom
  • Kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • fresh herbs such as chives or thyme

Method
 

  1. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over high heat in a steel or cast-iron pan. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes.
  2. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the shallots and garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the liquid has all dissipated from the mushrooms.
  3. Add the wine and scrape the pan. Once the liquid has dissipated, add the stock, a pinch of salt and pepper, and reduce the heat to medium. Let simmer until a thick sauce has formed. Add the other tablespoon of butter and 3/4 of the herbs. Take off the heat. Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed.
  4. Serve, garnished with the rest of the herbs, with toasted and buttered sourdough, on rice or noodles, or under poultry breasts or pork tenderloin medallions. Enjoy!
