How to Make It

  • 1

    Clean 500g of white mushrooms with a brush, then slice them into thick, uniform pieces.

  • 2

    Finely dice the onion and sauté it in 20g of butter over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

  • 3

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms along with the remaining 20g of butter.

  • 4

    Cook the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden-brown.

  • 5

    Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring they are well-coated.

  • 6

    Pour in 200ml of heavy cream and reduce the heat to low, letting the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.

    Stir until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

  • 8

    Remove from heat and garnish with a generous handful of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
