Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, minced shallots
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 454 grams, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari sauce
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 240 milliliters gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook until they are browned and have released their moisture, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the gluten-free tamari sauce, ensuring it coats the mushrooms evenly.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer, reducing by half, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add the gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir until well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then slowly add it to the sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Add fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to the sauce for seasoning. Adjust to taste.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Enjoy over gluten-free pasta, rice, or as a topping for grilled chicken or vegetables.
