Related: About this forumRich Onion Mushroom Cream Sauce Recipe (video)
This is an extremely rich and flavourful sauce that goes with lots of different grilled meats and even veggies. It's a perfect accompaniment with the rib roast we made last week, and it's also super simple. It does take a little bit of time, so it's perfect for a long slow roast. It really needs time to reduce and get those flavours concentrated and that extremely creamy texture.
If you don't have fresh herbs, dry is fine, but you'll want to use less. Also, we tossed in a little bit of cognac at the end (as we frequently do with mushroom dishes) but you can omit that step. You can also replace the cognac with dry vermouth or even something like whiskey or bourbon. Whatever you think would be a complimentary flavour to what you're serving it with. You can add garlic to this, it really doesn't require garlic.

(3,282 posts)Every grocery store I know within striking distance has clam juice. Maybe it's a Canadian thing? After all, we put it in drinks (the Bloody Caesar has clam juice and tomato juice, or just Clamato if it's easier).
We actually used it in a recipe not too long ago. We made an oyster soup based on the one described in Chapterhouse: Dune.

(3,282 posts)Just gotta make sure not to oversalt it. As it reduces, the flavours (and saltiness) get concentrated and amplified, so if you salt it just a little too much up front, it will end up very very salty.
