- In a large skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil.

- Add the mushrooms to the skillet along with the shallots and rosemary and season with salt and pepper.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the chicken stock and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
- Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes.
- Sprinkle the mushrooms with the 2 tablespoons of flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Pour in the remaining 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons of stock and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the skillet.
- Simmer the gravy over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
