My Whisky Sauce

[idun]

I made a whisky sauce to go with the haggis.

I looked at the web and then did my own thing.

I had some button mushrooms in so decided to put them in the sauce.

I fried the finely chopped mushrooms in quite a lot of butter, then took the mushrooms from the pan with a seive spoon, no idea what it is called. Into the hot butter I put half a cup of whisky and flambed it, and my does that whisky burn a long time. I added a cup of beef stock and left it to simmer and reduce quite a bit. I then added a heaped teaspoon of whole grain mustard and about 200ml of cream, let that reduce a bit, checked for seasoning. At that point it hadn't got an edge so I put some 'raw' whisky in, about 3table spoons, added the mushrooms, and checked for seasoning again.

 

It was wonderful with the haggis and everyone had it. If I hadn't had the mushrooms in, I would probably have put some finely chopped onions in instead.

A McSween haggis and everyone thought it the best they had had....... OR........ maybe it was just my sauce that made it taste so good[Www]
