Mushrooms in a Coriander-Scented White Sauce
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 large garlic clove, mashed to a paste in a mortar and pestle, or minced
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk (skim, low-fat, or whole)
- 1 pound white mushrooms, trimmed and halved or quartered, depending on size
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala (see Notes)
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Add the coriander and cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour.
- Then replace the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Then add the mushrooms, give them a stir, and simmer very gently for 5 minutes.
- Stir often while the mushrooms cook, scraping the bottom and into the corners of the pan to keep the sauce from burning.
- Stir in the garam masala and continue to cook at a bare simmer until the mushrooms are tender but still have some bite, 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Stir in the white pepper and taste for salt.
- Serve hot.
