Creamy mushroom sauce

If you’re looking for a versatile mushroom sauce, then look no further. Serve it on homemade beef burger patties, drizzle over chicken or steak, eat it with cabbage noodles – the possibilities are endless.

The trick here is to be patient and caramelize the onions slowly. Stir it often to prevent it from burning. The onions add sweetness and a rich flavour to the mushroom sauce.

I used Portabellini mushrooms for this mushroom sauce, but brown mushrooms or button mushrooms will work too!

The secret to this sauce is having patience with the onions. Get them to a nice golden colour and you’re good to go!
