Cooking Time: 
10 mins
Equipment: 

Small sauce pan

Liquidiser

Method: 

Melt butter in saucepan and add mushrooms and sherry.

Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes on a high heat.

Uncover and cook until the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly, so that the mushrooms are browned.

Reduce heat, add the flour and cook thoroughly for 5-6 minutes, stiring all the time.

Add the stock a little at a time, stiring constantly to prevent lumps forming.

Simmer for 3-5 minutes and season to taste.

Allow to cool slightly, then liquidise until smooth.

Re-heat the sauce as required in a clean pan.
