Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 peeled and minced garlic clove
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 250 grams, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup low-fat chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft and have released their liquid, approximately 6-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the low-fat milk to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Pour the low-fat chicken or vegetable broth into the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry, continuously stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
Gradually add the remaining low-fat milk while stirring, ensuring the sauce remains smooth.
Add the chopped thyme, black pepper, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Continue to simmer the sauce on low heat for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the low-fat creamy mushroom sauce over your choice of grilled meats or pasta.
