I tried chanterells mushrooms as that was what I had and it was outstanding. Mt guests all asked for the recipe. My wine choice was [ blue moumtain pinot gris 1998] sharron cant

This sauce was amazing! All those flavors really are brilliant together. I used red wine and it was delish. Served with green beans and goat cheese mashed potatoes.

I was just looking for a sauce to go with a couple lamb steaks for Easter. This sounded rather strange, but what the heck, had all the ingredients on hand! I did substitute dried porcini mushrooms for the shiitake (rehydrated in hot water), as that is what I had on hand. And cut the recipe in half for two. Unfortunately mine turned out as more of a "spread" (very thick), rather than a sauce, (but it tasted really good in that form too). So I added some of the reserved mushroom soaking liquid at the end to thin it out a little, whisking and adding it in until I got the consistency I was looking for, making it more of a sauce. Good Flavor!! I will definitely keep this "sauce" in mind for future dishes.
