Hunter’s sauce is primarily a mushroom sauce originally from France. Served with meat dishes prepared from what hunters were able to obtain.
This includes venison, duck and hare, and nowadays baked veal or escalope. We will also give recipes for Russian hunting sauces that can be prepared in a hurry. After all, when hunting and outside the kitchen, you need to cook quickly and unpretentiously, but at the same time satisfying.
Classic recipe with mushrooms
To tell the truth, there is no single classic recipe. For some, the classic is red hunting sauce, for others it is white, but mostly it is always made from mushrooms.
Our recipe is based on champignons, but any mushrooms can be used. If you have wild ones, then you need to boil them first, we have separate recipes about this.
We will need:
- Champignons – 200 gr.
- Garlic turnip – 1 pc.
- Garlic – 2 cloves
- Demiglas – 100 ml
- Water – 100 ml.
- Tomato paste – 3 tbsp. l.
- Vegetable oil – 2-3 tbsp. l.
- Bay leaf – 1 pc.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
How to cook:
- Chop onions and mushrooms in any way you like.
- Pour oil into a frying pan and begin to fry the onion until transparent.
- Then turn up the heat and add the mushrooms, fry until nicely colored.
- Then add tomato paste and stir it with mushrooms, warm it up thoroughly (this will remove the metallic taste).
- Now you can add demi-glace and a little water, do not pour it all at once.
- Add laurel, finely chopped garlic, pepper and add salt.
- After 5 minutes, take out the bay leaf and, if necessary, add water or, on the contrary, evaporate to the desired thickness.
- Red hunting sauce with onions and mushrooms is ready!
Of course demi-glace can be replaced with any meat broth, but then remove the water. And if you use cream instead of tomato paste, you get white hunting sauce.
In Germany, Jäger Sauce (hunting sauce) is eaten with pork schnitzel. But in fact, add it to mashed potatoes, pasta and porridge.
