Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 500 grams, cleaned and quartered cremini or button mushrooms
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 250 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the quartered mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 8 minutes.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Add the dried oregano, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the skillet and let the mushrooms stew gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high to reduce the sauce slightly for 5 minutes, if desired.
Remove from heat, then stir in the freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked grains like quinoa or brown rice for a light main course.
