Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Shallots, finely chopped
- 250 grams Cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the pan, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves until well combined and creamy.
Adjust seasoning to taste, and serve your low-fat creamy mushroom sauce over pasta, chicken, or vegetables as desired.
