This is a classic French white sauce made with a velouté sauce base flavoured with mushrooms, shallot and white wine.

Ingredients:

1 shallot, finely chopped
70ml white wine
300ml sauce velouté
1 tbsp duxelles

Method:

Combine the shallot and wine in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the shallot is soft and the wine has reduced to about 1 tbsp. Whisk in the velouté with the duxelles and bring to a boil. Take off the heat and serve immediately.

Please note, because of the liaison of eggs in the velouté sauce this duxelles sauce should only be used as a serving or coating sauce. It cannot be used for a gratin dish or a casserole.
