Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, then slice them thinly.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the yellow onion.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are lightly browned and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth.
Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and allow the mushroom cream to cool slightly before serving.
