Suitable for home made chicken burgers

Everyone needs to have a few sauces in their arsenal to whip up in a jiffy. Created exclusively for us by Michaela from Better with Balance, here is a mushroom sauce great for steaks, homemade chicken burgers, or even for gourmet prego roosterkoek

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 tablespoon of crushed garlic

200 g chopped braai mushrooms

1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar

100 g unsweetened evaporated milk

100 g fat free milk

1 tablespoon of cornstarch

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add garlic and olive oil to a cast iron round pan on medium heat.
  2. Add in your chopped mushrooms and allow to cook until soft. Top tip, never rinse mushrooms. They retain water like little nature sponges, so it is best to just wipe them with a paper towel to remove excess dirt before you cook them. 
  3. Add balsamic vinegar and both evaporated milk and fat free milk
  4. Once it starts to simmer and thickens slightly temper the cornstarch into your pan by adding two tablespoons of the warm milk to a ramekin with the cornstarch, mix well then add it into your sauce. 
  5. Allow to thicken while stirring, season to taste
