["Melt the butter with the oil in a large frying pan, and add the diced mushrooms, minced garlic and sliced shallots.", "Fry over a medium-low heat for 5 minutes, and then add the chopped chestnuts.", "Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mushrooms and onions are soft.", "Add the wine and some dried thyme to the mushroom mixture, and cook for a couple of minutes until most of the wine has evaporated.", "Add the stock, and bring to a simmer.", "Continue to simmer gently until the mixture has reduced a little, just a few minutes.", "Add the cream and grated gruyere, and mix together.", "As the cheese melts it should help to form a creamy sauce.", "Bring the mixture to your desired consistency - add a dash more stock if you'd like it to be thinner, or simmer it for a few more minutes to thicken it up.", "Season to taste.", "If you want to serve as a ""pie,"" you can pour over warm biscuits or puff pastry.", "This also makes a wonderful sauce for pasta or veggies."]
