General principles of cooking mushroom sauces with sour cream
• The base of the sauce is made from fresh mushrooms. The most commonly used champignons, as they are easily accessible at any time of the year. In season, the sauce can be prepared from forest mushrooms, which during heat treatment keep their shape well - do not crawl away. If there are frozen mushrooms, they will do.
• Before using, the feet and caps of fresh mushrooms are cleaned of dirt and debris, and then washed with running water, paying special attention to the inside of the cap. Usually it is in this part that trash accumulates. Frozen mushrooms are thawed at room temperature or in the refrigerator, placed in a common chamber for several hours. It is undesirable to defrost in water, as they absorb excess moisture.
• Mushrooms for sauce cut into small slices or thin strips. It is used both a hat, and legs. They are boiled, then fry with onions, sometimes adding carrots. There are recipes for preparing the sauce without roasting the mushroom base.
• Sour cream is added last. Dairy product does not like high temperatures and under their influence can spread. To minimize the likelihood of such an undesirable result, it is advisable to take sour cream with a small percentage of fat, extremely fresh and high-quality.
• Mushroom sauces with sour cream may be thick or sparse. Flour acts as a thickener, starch is not used. Flour can be mixed with already prepared mushroom roasting or with sour cream. Before introducing the thickener into the sauce, which is cooked without roasting the mushroom base, flour is diluted in a small amount of cold water. The mixture is introduced gradually, pouring a thin stream into the boiling mass, and vigorously stirring it in a circle. • Fungal sauces with sour cream often complement the tomato, which gives the dressing a slightly sour taste. This may be tomato paste or mashed fresh tomatoes. Tomato is injected into the sauce along with sour cream.
• Condiments, spices, fresh greens - without which it is impossible to achieve a special aroma and rich taste of the sauce. Ground pepper is the most common spice, can be used turmeric, nutmeg powder, red pepper.

Tricks of cooking mushroom sauces with sour cream
• It is not necessary to use fresh mushrooms, sauces are prepared from dried mushrooms, only they will need to be well soaked. Usually water is used for this, but if you soak the mushrooms in milk, the sauce will be softer. To enhance the flavor, slightly soaked dried mushrooms can be added to fresh ones.
• To avoid thick or excessively fat sour cream from lumps, it should be diluted with water or mushroom broth.
• Do not use spices with a bright aroma, they will kill the main flavor of the mushroom sauce.
