Looking for a Mushroom recipe

[Wenstar]

Hello Everyone,

Just before Christmas we went to the Christmas Market in Aachen and I had sauteed mushrooms topped with a creamy sauce from one of the vendors that was just heavenly. I hope someone can help me find a recipe for it, I would love to surprise my family with this dish. Thanks in advance.

Hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!

I know the dish you are talking about..I LOVE those mushrooms!

I saved this recipe to my cookbook when I saw it because ti sounded like it may be the right one:

Pilze in Sahnesosse - Mushrooms in Cream Sauce Recipe recipe #6447

The sauce you get on the Weihnachtsmarkt is often a garlic cream sauce with someherbs. I'm afraid I don't have a recipe, but I'll go looking for one for you.

I haven't quite found a recipe for you but when I looked I came across a few people saying that if you doctor up Knorr's Garlic sauce (dry mix) a little it comes really close to the real thing.
Somebody suggested to fry whole button mushroom with one onion (cut into rings), season with paprika, salt and pepper, cover and let stew for a while. Then add a packet of Knorr garlic sauce and the needed amount of water as well as some fresh chopped garden herbs and allow to simmer a little longer. Thicken if needed with corn starch and it's supposed to taste pretty much like the Champignons in Knoblauchsosse you get on all German Xmas markets.

Heather and Sylvie,

Thank you very much for replying so quickly.

Heather, thank you for the recipe, I have added it to my cookbook and can't wait to try it. It sounds absolutely deliciouse.

Sylvie, Thank you for your suggestions. I will look for the Knorr garlic sauce. If I can't find it here in Belgium, then my husband will just have to take me to Germany to find it.

Thank you both again for your replies. I can't wait to try them out. My mouth is just watering thinking about it. May you both have a Happy and Wonderful Year.

Hello Heather and Sylvie,

Just wanted to let you both know I tried your recipes out.

Sylvie - I could not find the garlic sauce here but I did find Zweibel sauce by Knorr and tried that. They turned out very good and just like what we remembered. The only thing I would do differently would be to add salt after adding the onion sauce and water to the mixture instead of before. For the cream topping I mixed chopped chives and parsley with sour creme and a little garlic salt. It was a very hearty dish.

Heather - I tried out your recipe too. It is very good but Sylvie's comes closer to what we had at the market. This was very lovely with our pork roast and French bread to get up every bit of the sauce. It has a refreshing lemony taste that balances well with the cream and wine. It was great the next day too.

Thank you both again for the recipes.
