Mushroom And Leek Sauce Recipes

MUSHROOM AND LEEK SAUTé

Steps:

• Put oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their water and the pan begins to dry out again, 10-15 minutes. Add leeks and cook, stirring, until they soften a bit, 2-3 minutes. Add tarragon and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

CREAMY MUSHROOM AND LEEK PASTA

Steps:

• Cut off the root hairs and most of your green stems. Keep the stems for making stock. This part is edible when you cook it for longer periods of time.
• Cut your leeks in half lengthwise and then half each stock again so you have 4 long quarters. Finley slice the leeks and rinse in cold water to get rid of any dirt in the leek (leeks hide dirt very well). Drain well.
• Heat a large pan over medium/high heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and the finely chopped leeks. Saute 2 minutes.
• Cut mushrooms in half if they are small and into quarters if they are larger. Add halved/sliced mushrooms and 3 pressed garlic cloves. Saute uncovered, stirring often for 8 minutes or until mushrooms are soft.
• Stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream.
• Add 2 Tbsp chopped dill, 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste) and 1/8 tsp pepper. Simmer uncovered another 5 minutes for the sauce to thicken up a little.
• Pour over your favorite cooked pasta. This would work over just about any noodles. I served it over angel hair pasta (my favorite). Sprinkle with parmesan if you like :)

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MUSHROOM-LEEK SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until well browned and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, cover, and keep warm.
• Add mushrooms and leeks to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until most of the moisture has evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add wine; cook for about 1 minute. Mix broth and cornstarch together in a small bowl; add to the skillet and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and mustard; cook and stir until combined, about 1 minute. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• Nestle chicken thighs into the sauce. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 8 to 10 minutes more.
