Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams White mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the low-fat milk. Stir gently and let it heat through, about 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir well, allowing the sauce to thicken. This should take around 2-3 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the sauce, stirring gently to combine before serving.
Serve warm over your favorite dish such as pasta, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables.
