Chianti Mushroom Sauce

Submitted by Chef Logjam

"Most mushroom recipes are spoiled by too much foreign flavor. Portabello Mushrooms have a very distinct flavor and are the choice mushroom companion for many dishes. This recipe preserves the flavor and aroma of the mushroom, yet adds that little bit extra without breaking the bank."

This was a tasty sauce. I used nice cabernet sauvignon (the only red I had), and it was too rich for the sauce. Next time I will use a lighter red like a chianti (of course). :) Thanks for sharing this recipe; it was simple and very gourmet!
