Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium-sized Shallots
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 12 ounces Baby Bella mushrooms
- 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Finely mince the shallots and garlic. Clean and slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing them until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their juices and are golden brown.
Pour in the vegetable broth and allow the mixture to simmer for another 5 minutes, reducing slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined.
Slowly add the almond milk mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Sprinkle in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper, and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary, then serve warm over your meal of choice or enjoy it as a comforting soup.
