Description

This creamy chanterelle mushroom sauce has a rich and smooth flavor thanks to Gorgonzola and sherry--try it over meat, fish, or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups sherry wine
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste
4 cups diced chanterelle mushrooms
1 tablespoon salt-free seasoning blend
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk sherry wine and broth into the flour mixture, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer.
2 Stir in Gorgonzola cheese until melted. Add mushrooms, seasoning blend, and pepper; simmer over medium-low heat until sauce has reduced and desired thickness is achieved, about 30 minutes. I think it's just about perfect when the bubbles start to look like a heavy rain hitting the ground.
