Ingredients

  • 8 ounces baby bella mushroom sliced
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken stock or beef stock
  • ½ cup white wine I use Pinot Grigio
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon thyme or regular thyme, fresh
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large skillet to medium heat, add in the butter and sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes, until they get some good color.  The darker the color of the mushrooms, the more flavor your gravy will have!  Add in the garlic and sauté for about 20 seconds, careful not to brown it!
  2. Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up the brown bits.  Allow some of the liquid to evaporate, then add in the chicken stock and continue to simmer for another minute or so, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
  3. Stir in the mascarpone cheese.  Once melted, add in the heavy cream, lemon thyme, salt and pepper.  Simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes or until thickened to your liking.
  4. Serve with a garnish of fresh thyme over a steak, pan fried pork chops, grilled chicken or mashed cauliflower.I poured mine over pork chops and it was the perfect combo!

Notes

  • If you prefer not to use white wine, substitute with additional chicken stock for deglazing.
  • A wild mushroom blend can be used instead of baby bella mushrooms to vary flavor depth.
