I just happened to have the mushrooms and cream on hand, and I used this as a mushroom gravy /sauce over pork chops, with mashed potatoes and broccolini on the side. To thicken it a little more, I scooped out some of the cream sauce, put it in a cup, and mixed it with a tablespoon of flour, then blended this back in with the mushrooms in the pan. It worked out quite well!

Really good. I had some left over medium rare New York. Sliced and put into the sauce to warm. Served with buttered pappardelle. Delish!!

I browned some boneless thighs chicken first, poured off the grease, and then browned the mushrooms in the fond to make a heartier meal. I would add some extra lemon juice at the end to brighten the sauce up. Some fresh thyme would also be good.

Used truffle salt which made it extra myshroomy.
