Homemade Mushroom Sauce for Baby

I love sauces and today I am going to share with you how to make mushroom sauce. The great thing is that you can make a big batch and freeze it up into portions and use them whenever is needed. By the way, I am not an expert in cooking like a lot of mommies in the community. But I can guarantee this is really easy to do!

Prepare your ingredients first.

Ingredient list (You can adjust the amount accordingly if you have more mushrooms)

• 1 yellow onion
• 20g butter
• 225g mushrooms
• 2 tbls lemon juice (Household tip: If you are using raw lemon, you can place the remains of the lemon and put it in your fridge to remove any odour in the fridge)
• 2 tbls fresh parsley
• 2 tbls plain flour
• 300ml milk (I used my baby's formula milk. Prepare the milk like how you will prepare milk for your baby to drink)

Cooking Steps

Step 1: Fry the onion in butter till transparent.

Fry the onion in butter. I love the sweet fragrance. Smell so good!

Step 2: Add mushrooms, lemon juice and parsley and cook for 2 mins. Add flour and cook for 2 mins, stirring continuously. 

The mushroom will be soften, and that is how you know they are cooked:)

Step 3: Add the milk gradually and cook, stirring continuous in the same direction until thick and smooth.

Step 4: Blend everything using your blender. Depending whether how young your baby is, you can blend longer to create the very fine, smooth texture until taste almost like mushroom soup. If not, you need to only blend like less than 1 min to get more chunky textures.



Blend until the consistency you like. Fine or chunky.

 

Step 5 (Optional): If you would like to save time and money, you can freeze the sauce in batches. To freeze, I use the ice cube trays to freeze them up. After they are frozen, I will take out those cubes and put them in zip lock bags to save space in my fridge. As and when I wish to cook spaghetti with mushroom sauce, I will just take down from the fridge. So convenient!

 

 

Happy Cooking! Hope you like the sauce :)

 

Cheers!
