This rustic sauce has its origins in the outlying regions from which the auxiliary soldiers are drawn. What was simple country food has become a favorite staple on the tables of even generals in the Imperial army.
ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 ounces button mushrooms, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth Splash of white wine vinegar
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, then add the mushrooms, giving them a quick stir to coat in the butter. Let the mushrooms cook for about 5 minutes, or until soft.
Toss in the flour, stirring until it is absorbed, then add the chicken broth. Stir and continue to cook for a minute or two, until the mixture thickens somewhat. Stir in the Imperial Seasoning and cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
