Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 500 grams white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, fresh
- 0.5 teaspoon rosemary, fresh, finely chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir in the salt and black pepper, ensuring all mushrooms are well coated with the seasonings.
Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are softened and have released their juices.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves and chopped rosemary over the mushrooms. Stir to combine the herbs into the mixture.
Pour in the almond milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, mixing it into the sauce to enhance the creamy flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the mushroom mixture.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon juice to add a hint of brightness to the dish.
Once thickened, remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.
Serve the creamy mushrooms as a side dish, or as a topping over pasta or toast.
