This recipe was extracted from Cookery and housekeeping (1882) by Reeve, Henry Mrs., page 116. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Purde of Mushroom Sauce. Take 2 lbs. of large mushrooms, of which the gills are turning from red to black, wash, drain, remove the stalk and skin, which will do for flavouring sauces. Put them in a stewpan with a little butter, and after a few minutes' slow cooking add some sauce to com- plete the cooking of the mushrooms ; this will take half an hour. Pass the whole through a tamis, and finish your puree with either cream or brown sauce

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
