Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium shallot
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and shallot.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and shallot to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sprinkle with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with almond milk until smooth.
Pour the almond milk mixture into the skillet with mushrooms, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the nutritional yeast and lemon juice, mixing well to incorporate.
Remove the skillet from heat and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy over pasta, rice, or your favorite vegetables.
