Mushroom Broth and Syrup
"The recipe from Simple Cuisine reduces down to make a mushroom syrup that you serve as a rich sauce."
- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
1 cup
- Serves:
- 1
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sweet butter
- 1 lb white button mushrooms, quartered
- salt and pepper
- 2 shallots, peeled and sliced
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups water, see recipe
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
directions
- In a pan large enough to hold the mushrooms in a single layer, heat the butter over med high until sizzling. Add the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook stirring constantly until they are deep brown and have carmelized.
- Add the shallots and the garlic, and just enough water to cover the mushrooms. Add the parsley and scrape the brown bits. Transfer the vegetables and broth to a smaller pot.
- Bring to a boil over med high heat and boil for 15 minutes. Strain broth with a fine mesh strainer. It will be brown in color.

- Reduce over high heat by cooking 10 minutes longer until just a syrup remains. About 1/2 cup. It will resemble a veal demi glace. Serve alone as an intensely flavored sauce.
- For milder flavor, swirl in 2 to 3 tbsp olive or mushroom broth. Note this will give a broken sauce effect creating a gold and brown sauce.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me.
If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
