KELLY'S MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the mushrooms and sauté about 3 minutes.
• Stir in 1 cup of the beef broth and both of the mustards.
• Increase the heat to high and boil to reduce by half (about 5 minutes).
• Add remaining broth 1/4 cup at a time, boiling until sauce is reduced by half with each addition.
• Stir in the cream and boil until sauce coats the back of a spoon (about 3 minutes).

WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Tip the wine and mushrooms into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to soak until cool, about 20 mins. Strain through a sieve over a bowl to reserve the wine, pressing the mushrooms with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Set the rehydrated mushrooms aside. Return the wine to the pan and pour in the stock. Bring to the boil and keep on a high heat until reduced by half, about 15 mins. Pour in the cream, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half again, about 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the mushrooms. Heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms until just golden. Carefully add the brandy and sizzle briefly, then squeeze in the lemon juice, remove from the heat and set aside. Stir the mushroom mixture into the reduced cream sauce along with any juices from the frying pan, then season. Will keep chilled for up to three days.

MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour 100ml of boiling water over the dried porcini and leave to stand for 5 mins. In a saucepan, heat the butter and add the shallots, frying gently until they are soft and translucent. Add the chestnut mushrooms and cook for 5 mins more. When they are cooked, pour in 1 tbsp of the liquor from the porcini and discard the rest. Chop the porcini and add them to the pan. Fold in the crème fraîche, bring to a simmer then season.
