Galilee Green Classic Mushroom Sauce

Who doesn’t love going to weddings?

It’s a time for celebrating the building of a new home with great food and lots of dancing. Most Israeli weddings are fairly casual affairs. You are often given the choice of fish or mushroom sauce over a potato bureka for the appetizer.

I usually choose the fish because I try to avoid the pastry dough in the bureka. The bureka is just a base for the mushroom sauce which is the delicious part.

Here is a classic mushroom sauce. It is really peppery (Israeli style) and  you’ll be amazed by how few ingredients it has. There are so many uses for this sauce and it is so easy to make.

Classic Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 onion chopped
• 4 tablespoons Galilee Green Olive Oil
• 2 pints washed and sliced fresh mushrooms
• ¼ cup red wine
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Saute chopped onions in oil until translucent
2. Add mushroom, mixing them in with the sauted onions
3. Cover and simmer until the mushrooms have shrunk. There will also be approximately 1 cup or more of sauce at the bottom of the pan.
4. Add red wine, pepper, salt and simmer for another 5 minutes

This Classic Mushroom Sauce is ready to serve and is really delicious.
ENJOY!!

Easy Ways to Serve Mushroom Sauce

Keep the sauce chunky for rustic plates. Spoon it over pasta shells so the pieces catch in every curve. Ladle it over mashed potatoes for a simple side. Warm leftover meatloaf and pour the sauce on top. Use it with roast chicken or pan-seared fish when you want a fast upgrade.

Make a double batch. Cool leftovers and store them in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently and add a splash of water or wine if the sauce thickens too much.
