The Countess's Mushrooms

1 lb Mushrooms, fresh

4 tb Butter

2 tb Flour

2 ts Broth

1 1/2 c Sour cream

2 tb Lemon juice

1 ts Garlic powder

2 ts Onion powder

1/2 ts Nutmeg

1/2 ts Tarragon

1/4 ts Curry powder

1/2 ts Black pepper,

-freshly ground 1/4 ts Salt (or to taste)

In a large frying pan, melt the butter. Saute mushrooms in butter until tender (about 5 minutes). Mix flour and chicken base together. Sprinkle over mushrooms. Cook one more minute, stirring. Add sour cream, lemon juice and all seasonings. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more, stirring. We use chicken broth or chicken bouillon. If you use a vegetable broth this is a vegetarian dish. If you can resist digging in right away, cook this ahead of time to give the flavors a chance to mellow. At serving time, rewarm carefully over low heat. This is wonderful as a main dish served over rice, noodles or fettucini Alfredo.
