DIRECTIONS: Melt the butter in a pan and quickly cook the mushrooms, in batches, over a high heat, until brown. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl after cooking each batch. Add the sauce to the juices remaining in the pan and bring to the boil, stir- ring. Reduce the heat and replace the mushrooms with any juices from the bowl. Stir well and heat for a few sec- onds then remove from the heat. Stir the sour cream into the cooked mush- room mixture and season to taste with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Heat through gently for a few seconds, if necessary, then transfer to warm plates and serve immediately.
