Answer 1

Here are two different recipes for the orange sauce I think you are looking for.

For the sauce:

50 g lean bacon* (finely diced)

vegetable oil

1 medium onion

1 clove garlic

1 bouquet garni (various herbs rolled into bay leaves - I have a dry version, but of course fresh is best)

200 ml port wine

200 ml vegetable or beef stock

1 level tsp porcini powder (ground porcini) - optional

20 g icecold, diced butter, for mounting

For the cep mushrooms:

600 g fresh cep mushrooms

3 shallots (finely sliced)

1 handful parsley (chopped)

lemon juice

First, prepare the sauce.

Fry the bacon in some vegetable oil, just enough to prevent it from sticking to the pan. If your bacon isn't too lean, you can get away with just frying it is as. Alternatively, if you have the bacon rind left over, "render" some of the fat by cooking it, cut side down, until some of the fat has been released. Remove the rind, then fry the bacon bits in the fat.

When the bacon is starting to brown, quarter the onion and halve the garlic and put into the pan unpeeled. Add the bouquet garni and leave everything to fry until the onion and garlic are browned.

Deglaze with the portwine, reduce by half. Pour in the stock and once again reduce by half.

Strain through a sieve, discard the solid ingredients and return the sauce to the pan, cooking until it has reached the required consistency.

If in a rush, you can thicken it with thickening granules - or any method would work, but remember that some (like corn starch) might make your sauce quite cloudy and you would be better advised spending some time reducing the sauce instead.

Set the sauce aside until ready to serve

1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate

1/3 cup water

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon low-salt soy sauce

1 tablespoon dry white wine

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

In a small pan, whisk together orange juice concentrate, water, brown sugar, parsley, soy sauce, wine, garlic, and ginger. Add sliced mushrooms.  Bring to a boil and stir until thickened.  

Makes 4 servings.

Answer 3

Sounds like stroganoff. That has beef broth, sour cream, tomato sauce/ketchup, tobasco sauce, and sliced mushrooms. It's good with leftover beef slices or cubes and is served over egg noodles.

Answer 4

sounds like bashamel to me!
