Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced

  • 6 medium green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup pan drippings, fat skimmed

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/2 cup Madeira wine

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • Salt, to taste

Steps to Make It

  1. In a sauté pan or saucepan over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms in butter until tender.

  2. Add the green onions and sauté for 1 minute longer.

  3. Stir in the pan drippings, water, wine, and vinegar.

  4. Bring to a boil; continue cooking, stirring, for 1 minute.

  5. Add salt, to taste.

Note: If you would like a thickened sauce, stir 2 teaspoons of cornstarch into the 1/2 cup of water before adding to the pan.
