1/4 lb sliced mushrooms
1/2 clove garlic
1 tsp butter
2 tsp cornstarch
1 cup low sodium beef broth
1/4 tsp salt and pepper, (combined)
2 green onions, chopped


Add all ingredients except cornstarch and broth to a microwaveable bowl. In a small bowl mix cornstarch and broth until well combined. Pour over vegetable mixture. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir. Microwave another 3 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and sauce is transparent. Use as a topping for meat, chicken or even potatoes.
This recipe yields two 1/2-cup servings.
Comments: For a different flavor use chicken broth instead of beef and add tarragon for topping chicken.
