Home-made mushroom sauce [Banting, lchf, gluten-free]

Fancy a creamy mushroom sauce without the baddies? This one’s for you. I have always loved sauce especially mushroom sauce on top of a juicy steak but as we know, they are laden with baddies and gluten if you get them from a shop or restaurant. Luckily, I came up with this wonderful recipe and it was a great success.

1.5 cups of finely chopped white button mushrooms

0.5 onion finely chopped

himalayan salt

100g unsalted butter

0.5 teaspoon ground garlic

125ml of pouring cream/fresh cream

50g grated mozarella

Method: 15 Minutes

Place a pan over medium to high heat. Add the butter and onions – fry the onions till translucent. Then add the garlic and chopped mushrooms and fry until cooked for about 4 minutes. Add the nutmeg, salt to taste and a pinch of ground black pepper. Stir to mix evenly. Lower the heat then add the cream and mozarella. Mix well and allow the sauce to thicken which should take 2-4 minutes.

4 Ingredient – No Fail Cheese Sauce

http://

This cheese sauce is so easy to make and really nice! Anyone can make it. I do not add salt as I feel the cheese has sufficient salt but if you want to add more then add a little bit according to your taste.

Ingredients: 

100g butter

100g grated 6 months matured cheese (choose a milder cheese if you want a milder taste)

2 cups milk

1/2 cup all purpose flour

Method (about 15 minutes)

Heat a pan and melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the milk and flour and stir. Use a manual whisk to help you with the lumps or a fork. Once thoroughly mixed, add the grated cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has melted. Lower the heat and simmer for 7 minutes.

Serve with pasta, steamed brocolli or anything that you fancy! 🙂
