This really quick and easy sauce has delighted everyone I served this, including a very spoiled guest used to Michelin-starred restaurants and my 5-year old son. It is great with any meat or game, most fish (in particular tuna), or as a pasta or salad sauce. Also great for Christmas. I love it with ostrich or duck fillet.

How To Make cheffy saffron sauce

Step 1

Slice or chop the mushrooms. Finely chop the half spring onion if you use it.

Step 2

Put a little extra virgin olive oil in a small pan on medium heat.
Step 3

Fry the mushrooms until almost ready to eat to your taste (3 minutes for me). Add the spring onion if used.
Step 4

Add the wine (and the stock if you use it). Turn heat to low.
Step 5

Add the mascarpone, saffron, salt, pepper and fresh thyme. Stir until combined. Let it infuse on low heat for about 3-5 minutes for maximum effect. Decorate with some thyme leaves or shredded basil.
