wild field mushroom sauce This is to go with meats not pasta
25g butter 125g wild field mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed 200ml Shiraz or Pinot Noir 200mlreduced beef stock (homemade is best) salt and freshly ground black pepper Shallots lightly sauteed Garlic ( optional) Sprig of fresh thyme (optional)
Heat the butter pan until just sizzling add the chopped shallots and thyme leaves for 1-2 minutes, or until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown and the liquid from the mushrooms has been released. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add Shiraz or Pinot noir and stock, reduce down
