Creamy sauce with mushrooms - useful tips from experienced chefs
The name of the sauce itself implies that cream is used in its preparation, but not everyone can eat cream. In this case, the cream can be diluted in half or completely exchanged for sour cream. The cream gives the sauce some lightness and a sweetish aftertaste. Sour cream makes the sauce more tender and slightly sour. From the combination of sour cream and cream sauce becomes sweet and sour. The use of a product in this case is a matter of taste.
Cream before adding to the dish is better to heat up a little, then they do not curl up from the heat.
Flour, which is necessarily part of any sauce, must be pre-fried. If this is not done, lumps may form or an unpleasant taste may appear.
