I know someone out there has broken down and come up with an acceptable recipe for Ninfa's la berry sauce. Can anyone post a good start?

The Ninfa's menu has
quote:

A La Barry
Sauteed Mushrooms, JalapeƱos, Tomatoes, Onions and Cilantro in Pechuga Gravy.

Via google, pechuga gravy

My husband Jose worked as a caterer for ninfas on Westheimer st in Houston for 7 years. The chicken in Pechuga was also a favorite of mine. I can tell you exactly what is in it I just dont have the exact measurements. All it takes to make it is a good bottle of Port wine, Butter & half & half cream. Just dont overcook it. Well hope this helps it's really pretty simple.

Bring butter and port wine to a simmer and reduce by half to thicken, add mushrooms and cook until soft. Season to taste with salt and pepper. I use 1 stick of butter, 2 cups cream and 1 cup of port wine.

I worked at Ninfa's while I was in College. The menu dishes were named after people that worked there and created the dish. This dish was called Chicken Fajitas A La Barry and not berry.

Since Maria Mia's is open and has Mushroom Butter Wine Sauce that is reminiscent of the a la Barry sauce, just wondering if anyone has cracked the formula?

I cracked the code if anyone is interested.

4 shallots diced
1 stick butter
1 box sliced mushrooms ( I diced the shrooms up more)

Heat in a large skillet medium to high until shrooms and shallots cook down

Add
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoons thyme
3 tablespoons of cumin
Salt and pepper as you like

Cook for 2 minutes stirring often

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour all over the mixture

Stir in and cook for 5 minutes stirring often
Your looking for the mixture to begin sticking
to the pan

Deglaze with a 1/2 cup of cheap white wine, or your
Favorite white wine.

Cook to a boil. Constantly mixing

Add

1/2 cup of milk
1/2 beef stock

Cool until thick.

That's it

You're welcome

This is just the base sauce, onions jalapeƱos and meat get cooked separately.
This sauce is poured on top as the finisher.

Has anyone tried this recipe? 3 TB seems like a lot of cumin. I ate at Ninfa's regularly and loved the Fajitas a la Barry. I don't remember the sauce having cumin in it.

Bumping this to see if someone actually pulled this off? I love their pechuga gravy. I tried to make it this afternoon and it was terrible. Has anyone done it and could you provide your recipe?

Thanks.

*** Edit: I used the more detailed recipe above and wound up with a butter flavored gravy, nothing even close to the thin pechuga I remember from Ninfa's*****
