|---|---|
| 1.75 cup | 30 minutes |
Ingredients
1 heavy blond roux- 2.5 cup vegetable broth
0.25 cup mushrooms- some salt
- some pepper
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
Cookware
- 1 medium saucepan

Instructions
Step 1
Make a heavy blond roux.
Step 2
Remove the medium saucepan from the heat and slowly whisk in 2.5 cup of vegetable broth along with minced mushrooms.
Step 3
Return the saucepan to the heat and bring the sauce slowly to a simmer, whisking to prevent lumps. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often and skimming any skin that forms on the surface, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 4
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired.
Step 5
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Just before serving, whisk in softened unsalted butter or any flavored butter.
