Lithuanian Mushroom Sauce (Champignions or Forest Mushrooms)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthier fats and is often less expensive.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes

Homemade broth is fresher and can be more economical.

fresh dill

🥗Healthier: dried dill

💰Cheaper: frozen dill

Dried or frozen dill is often more accessible and lasts longer.

Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onions and stir occasionally until they start to brown.

Add sliced chanterelles and cook until they release moisture and begin to brown.

Turn up the heat to medium-high to help evaporate moisture from the mushrooms.

Once mushrooms are browned, add flour and stir until golden brown.

Reduce heat back to medium and gradually pour in milk while stirring to avoid lumps.

Add salt and pepper to taste and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream and let sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
