I’m not gonna lie to you, this mushroom sauce isn’t something you should be eating while dieting. It’s super rich and tasty, but has enough fat in it to clog up any artery. However, for special occasions it’s an absolute must. Also, a few tablespoons will go a long way, so don’t be appalled by the amounts of butter and crème fraîche.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 0.97 EUR per serving / 3.87 EUR for all)

3 tbsp olive oil (0.13 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

500 grams Portobello mushrooms (2.00 EUR)

4 tbsp butter (0.53 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

1 cup crème fraîche (0.80 EUR)

1 tbsp chopped fresh chives (0.27 EUR)

METHOD:

Peel and finely dice the onion. Wash and thinly slice the mushrooms. Sauté diced onion on olive oil on high heat for about 10 minutes, until slightly caramelized. Throw in sliced mushrooms and butter, season with salt and pepper, and give a good stir. Cook the mushrooms for 15-20 minutes, until all of the water evaporates and mushrooms start browning and slightly crisping up. Reduce the heat to low and add in crème fraîche. Stir well to incorporate and add in a splash of water if necessary. Cook briefly, just to heat through, but don’t allow it to start boiling because the fats will start separating. Serve immediately over meat, potatoes or rice, sprinkled with fresh chives.

Neću vam lagati – ovaj umak nije nešto što bi ste trebali jesti dok ste na dijeti. Jako je bogat i ukusan, ali ima dovoljno masnoća da začepi bilo koju arteriju. Međutim, za neku specijalnu priliku je apsolutno obavezan. Osim toga, par žlica će biti i više nego dovoljno, pa se nemojte frapirati količinom maslaca i milerama.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 7,25 kn po porciji / 29,00 kn za sve)

3 žlice maslinovog ulja (0.99 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

500 g šampinjona (15,00 kn)

4 žlice maslaca (4,00 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,25 kn)

1 šalica milerama (6,00 kn)

1 žlica svježeg nasjeckanog vlasca (2,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Ogulite i fino nasjeckajte luk. Operite i narežite gljive na tanke listiće. Na jakoj vatri desetak minuta dinstajte luk na maslinovom ulju, dok se lagano ne karamelizira. Ubacite gljive i maslac, začinite solju i paprom, te dobro promiješajte. Kuhajte gljive 15-20 minuta, dok sva voda ne ispari, a gljive se lagano ne zahrskaju. Skroz smanjite vatru i dodajte mileram. Dobro promiješajte da se sve sjedini, a po potrebi razrijedite sa mrvicom vode. Kratko kuhajte, samo da se umak ugrije, ali pazite da ne zavrije jer će se masnoće početi razdvajati. Odmah poslužite preko mesa, krumpira ili riže, posipano sa svježim vlascem.
