Step-by-step recipe for a Velvety mushroom sauce

Step 1

Chop the onion finely, slice the mushrooms thinly. Then melt butter in a pot, add the prepared vegetables and sauté for 5 minutes. Make sure the butter doesn't burn, otherwise the dish will be unappetizing and harmful to health.

Step 2

Dissolve Knorr mushroom bouillon in 2 cups of boiling water and pour into the onions and mushrooms.

Step 3

Mix the flour thoroughly with the cream, then carefully pour into the boiling broth. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Step 4

Finally, sprinkle the mushroom sauce with chopped parsley and season it with pepper to taste.
