Chop fine the mushrooms and shallots; put the whole in a stewpan with the garlic and olive-oil; set on a moderate fire, and leave till half fried; then sprinkle in it the flour, stirring the while; add also the white wine, broth, onions, parsley, thyme, bay-leaf, salt, and pepper; simmer about half an hour, take from the fire, and a few minutes after skim off the fat; take out the garlic, onions, parsley, thyme, and bay-leaf, and it is then ready for immediate use.
