Stir in the sliced mushrooms and saute gently for about 2 minutes. Add the white wine. Simmer until mixture is reduced by half. Add tomato sauce and brown sauce and cook for 5 minutes. Season to taste and add 1 tsp. chopped parsley. Quick Brown Sauce 1/2 clove garlic 2 Tbsp. butter 2 Tbsp. flour 1 cup beef bouillon Rub pan with 1/2 clove garlic. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter.
