Defrost overnight in the refrigerator (in a single layer) and let sit out on the counter for 30 minutes to lose fridge chill before cooking as usual. Keep well for up to 3 months.
Sauce freezing instructions: Freeze in a labelled, airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. You may need to add a splash of water.

Alternatives:
white onion - red onion, shallots
chestnut mushrooms - button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms
