Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds fresh white mushrooms |
1 pound fresh exotic mushrooms such as porcini, chanterelles, or portobellos |
1/2 pound shallots |
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter |
2 tablespoons cognac |
2/3 cup chicken broth |
2/3 cup heavy cream |
1 tablespoon paprika (preferably mild hungarian) |
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves |
2/3 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Cut white mushrooms lengthwise into 1/2-inch wedges and chop exotic mushrooms. Finely chop shallots.
2. In a deep 12-inch heavy skillet cook shallots in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add Cognac and cook over moderate heat, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add broth, heavy cream, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes.
