It tastes divine-but it looks like a grey sludge. It looks most unappetizing. It has lots and lots of mushrooms(needed to use up a big bag) and onions and cream, that's about it. Does it look that way because I used so many mushrooms!Is there a fix for the future!

That's the way a mushroom cream sauce looks.I don't find it unappetising.You could add some finely chopped parsley or tarragon to brighten it up and improve the flavour.

Thanks davidt4. I quite like the flavour and added some cumin and sage to the leftovers as an experiment for tomorrow. I was more concerned that over the rissoles it didn't look as good as it tasted-but we got over that bit. I was thinking of a nice mushroom soup I once madefrom a big pile of field mushrooms, but now I remember that was madefrom the stems.

I have minced beef over bread rounds and toast any day :)
Enjoy your sauce and as davidt4 said above - just add some herbs if the grey/brown is not to your liking. I would just add a huge big green salad to the side and the colour scheme is fine.

My favourite mushroom sauce has no cream, but reduced down white wine and chicken stock, so very good, and I think I got the recipe off here. The flavour is intense

I often add a dash of soy sauce to give the colour a bit of depth- and doesn't seem to alter the taste of the mushrooms.
