Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 150 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
In a large saucepan, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are softened and browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and broth, stirring to combine.
Add the thyme, sea salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld together.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.
Slowly stir the slurry into the mushroom mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook for another 2 minutes, until the cream thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving or using in other dishes.
