1
Slice the mushroooms thinly, and fry lightly in some butter or a bit of oil. (You could use tinned, drained mushrooms).
2
Melt butter in a small saucepan, and off the heat stir in the flour briskly with the back of a spoon until mixture is smooth.
3
Keep off heat and mix in the wine, garlic, sugar, white pepper and salt.
4
Return to the hob, and whisk over medium heat until it reaches boiling point and thickens. Simmer about 30 seconds, then take off heat.
5
Drain any liquid off the mushrooms, and add mushrooms to the sauce.
6
Stir to cool a little, and whisk in cream. Add parsley last.
7
(It's a good idea to prepare the rice and seafood first, as this sauce can't wait too long in a warming oven. Put the rice on a heated platter, arrange seafood or fish on top, and pour over the sauce).
8
*You can obviously use black pepper, but white pepper has almost been forgotten and can be quite nice in this sauce.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
