Chasseur (sauce)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chasseur, sometimes called hunter sauce, is a small sauce in French cuisine that is made from Demi-glace. The sauce typically includes mushrooms, shallots, and white wine. It may also, but not always, include tomatoes and parsley.

Chasseur is the French term for hunter. The sauce would often be served with game birds after they were badly shot. It's also said that Chasseur was created by Philippe de Mornay, along with Mornay sauce, Béchamel, Lyonnaise, and Porto sauce.
