Allemande with mushrooms and a great deal of parsley and lemon. Classically served with tripe, brains or mussels — anything that wants brightening rather than enriching.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Sauce Allemande (see Sauce Allemande)
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Kosher salt and white pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt, and cook until they have released their liquid and it has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add the allemande and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  3. Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Season with salt and white pepper.
  4. Serve at once, while the parsley is still green.
