Instructions
- 1Clean the fresh mushrooms thoroughly. Finely chop half of the mushrooms (approximately 4 ounces). Cut the remaining half into quarters or slices, and set aside.
- 2In a medium saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the lemon juice and the finely chopped mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid.
- 3Carefully drain the cooked chopped mushrooms from the pan, reserving them. Leave the butter and any remaining liquid in the pan. Return the pan to medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour to the browned butter and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes until a well-browned roux forms.
- 4Gradually add the brown stock or consommé to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld. Skim any foam that rises to the surface.
- 5Add the reserved sliced or quartered mushrooms (from Step 1) and the previously cooked finely chopped mushrooms (from Step 3) to the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to heat through. Season the sauce generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
