Preparation
Step 1
In a covered saucepan on medium heat, cook the onions in the butter or oil for about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Increase the heat and add the mushrooms, salt, sage, nutmeg, and pepper and cook covered for 3 or 4 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to release liquid. Add the sherry and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a cup, combine the flour and 1/4 cup of water to make a smooth paste. Whisk the paste into the mushrooms and cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
