Mushroom Sauce

Put a quarter of a pound of mushrooms in a saucepan with three shallots, chopped, and a small bunch of parsley. Pour in enough gravy stock to cover the mushrooms, season and let stew at the side of the fire for a couple of hours. At the end of that time, strain through a sieve. Mix some butter and flour and pour it in the sauce.
