Mushroom Sauce
Recipe from: The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without

Cookbook Heaven at Recipelink.com

Yield: About 2 1/2 cups

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
6 medium-sized shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt (possibly more, to taste)
3 tablespoons brandy or dry sherry
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups warmed milk*
Freshly ground black pepper

Melt the butter in medium-sized skillet. Add all the mushrooms and the salt, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the brandy or sherry, and cook for 5 minutes more.
Gradually sprinkle in the flour as you whisk the mushroom mixture. Whisk and cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat.
Stir in the warmed milk. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until thickened and smooth (about 5 more minutes). Season to taste with black pepper and additional salt, if desired. Serve hot.

*It's easiest to warm the milk directly in a measuring cup in a microwave oven.
