  6. Remove from heat

    Remove from heat and stir in fresh chopped dill. Serve warm.

A little kitchen wisdom

For a deeper flavor, you can use a mix of wild mushrooms and button mushrooms. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth. This sauce is traditionally served with kopytka (Polish potato dumplings) or buckwheat groats.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated. If it thickens too much in the fridge, add a splash of water or milk when reheating.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling rapidly to prevent the cream from separating.
