Method:

Heat butter and oil over a medium-high heat, then add the shallots and mushrooms and cook until slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the garlic and cook off for a minute then add both paprikas, caraway seeds and tomato paste. Cook over medium heat for a further minute.

Add the flour and toast for a minute before slowly stirring in the stock, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and mustard.

Allow to simmer partially covered over a low heat for about 20 minutes before finishing with the sour cream/ cream cheese and herbs. Add more stock if needed.

Stir until the sour cream/cream cheese is fully incorporated. Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper to taste. Don’t boil the mix or the sauce might split.
