Fresh mushroom sauce garnish
Mushroom sauce is a real standout and a classic in my family. It's a recipe I've refined over the years and one that always goes down well. The creamy texture, savory flavor of the mushrooms, and perfect seasoning make this sauce a perfect addition to many dishes. Whether it's with pasta, meat or vegetables, mushroom sauce always goes well.

Directions
For the mushroom sauce, first clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices. Then finely chop the onion and garlic. If the mushrooms are very large, you can cut them in quarters to achieve uniform pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and saute until soft, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Do not heat too high or the onions may burn.
Add the chopped garlic cloves and fry them with the onion for another 2 minutes.
Now add the prepared mushrooms and fry them until soft. This may take 10-15 minutes. A tip: do not put too many mushrooms in the pan at once, otherwise they will steam more than they fry.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, pour the white wine and let it evaporate completely.
Now pour in the cream, reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes until it has thickened a bit.
Finally, season with salt and pepper. The rule here is: it is better to season carefully first and then add seasoning later if necessary.
Sprinkle the fresh herbs over the vegetarian mushroom sauce to serve. They give an additional flavor and make the sauce also visually a highlight.
