Creamy Liver and Mushroom Gravy image

I love liver and stroganoff. This a recipe I made up to take advantage of that. I use an all-purpose Gluten-free flour mix but it would work fine with any all-purpose flour if you are not on a Gluten free diet.

1 medium onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
1 cup mushroom, quartered

This is simple to make and so good! I have made it several times and plan on making it on a regular basis, we really enjoyed this chicken dish. Although it does not say to, I deglazed the pan with about 1/4 cup dry white wine after I browned the cutlets and transfered them to a plate, you can also deglaze with dry vermouth. If you don't care for garlic then leave it out.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms have a more intense flavor and will give your gravy a richer texture.
  • Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned. This will help to bring out their flavor and give them a slightly chewy texture.
  • Use a good quality cream. Heavy cream will give your gravy a richer flavor and texture. If you are using a lighter cream, you may need to add a little bit of butter or oil to thicken it.
  • Season the gravy to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add a splash of white wine or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve the gravy immediately. Creamy mushroom gravy is best served hot and fresh. It can be served over chicken, beef, pork, or vegetables.
