Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams cremini mushrooms
- 180 milliliters low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 240 milliliters low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them finely.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the broth until it dissolves.
Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt gradually to prevent curdling.
Add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until everything is well combined.
Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a sauce over grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, or whole grains for a complete low-fat meal.
