Steps

30 min

1

Peel and finely chop the onion and cayenne pepper. In a large pot or skillet over medium heat, add a thin layer of olive oil. Add the onion and cayenne with a pinch of salt, and cook gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent but not browned.
2

Clean any dirt off the mushrooms and cut them into quarters (it's best to do this with a knife and paper towel rather than rinsing under water).
3

Add the mushrooms, diced ham, and chopped cayenne pepper (omit the cayenne if you don't like spicy food, but it adds a great kick). Cook over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes.
4

Pour in the white wine and cook for about 2 more minutes over medium heat, stirring, until the alcohol evaporates.
5

In a small bowl, dissolve the tablespoon of cornstarch in cold water. Add this mixture to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chopped parsley to taste. Pour in the water and stir everything together well.
6

Simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water at a time, stirring until you get the texture you want. If it's too thin, add a little more cornstarch dissolved in water until it thickens to your liking.
