Creamy Mushroom Sauce

I used to despise mushrooms, but now I not only like them, I CRAVE them. I put mushrooms in so many different dishes because I love the earthly flavor they provide in any meal. This sauce is really good on top of any type of roast meat but it also works perfectly for a unique side dish, it is also REALLY easy to make!

Ingredients:

4 cups mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (any mushroom will do, I used button mushrooms)
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup half and half
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp paprika
1 tbls parsley, chopped
salt and pepper

Heat a little bit of oil in a pan, and add the onion and a pinch of salt. Saute for about 4-5 minutes until the onion begins to soften, then add the garlic and saute for another minute or so. Add the mushrooms and another pinch of salt and a bit of pepper. Saute until the mushrooms are soft and cooked through, about 10 minutes, add the paprika and stir so that all of the mushrooms are coated evenly. Add the half and half and reduce the heat to medium low. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, then add the sour cream and stir to thin it out and to evenly distribute it. Remove from heat, add the parsley and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
