Wild Mushroom and Shallot Gravy |
|
| 1/4 cup olive oil 10 shallots, peeled 4 garlic cloves peeled 12 oz mixed wild mushrooms (such as oyster, morel and stemmed shiitake), sliced 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried |
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried 2 tsp chopped fresh sage or 3/4 tsp dried rubbed sage 1/2 cup dry Marsala 1/2 cup dry sherry 11/2 cups chicken stock 1 cup heavy cream |
|
Pre heat oven to 300 degrees. Combine oil, shallots and garlic in a small glass baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake until shallots and garlic are pale golden, about 1 hour. Cool slightly. Thinly slice shallots and garlic, reserve oil in dish. Transfer 1 tablespoon of oil from baking dish into a heavy large saucepan. Heat oil over a medium high heat. Add mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, sage and the roasted shallots and garlic. Saute until mushrooms are tender, about 5-10 minutes. Add Marsala and Sherry, boil until syrupy, about 6-10 minutes. Add stock and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes. Add cream and boil until mixture thickens to sauce consistency, about 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like it over Turkey but it works well with red meats too! |
