The recipe is close. There is too much vinegar (start with half of what the recipe calls for) and thickening did not go well; needed much longer cooking than called for and a bit more flour. I tried it again, doubling the flour and halving the vinegar. Better, but not amazing.
Port-Wine Mushroom Sauce
This deeply flavored brown mushroom sauce is reminiscent of the classic bordelaise sauce but made in a fraction of the time. It's virtually fat-free--another plus. This sauce garnered our highest rating in the Test Kitchens. Try it with beef, lamb, venison, or pork.
