Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (vegetarian)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf Baguette, cut into 4-inch sections
- 4 slices Provolone cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting bread)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and their moisture has released.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the tamari or soy sauce, stirring well to coat the mushrooms.
Pour in the vegetable broth, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to merge and the broth to reduce slightly, forming your au jus.
While the au jus is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
If using, lightly butter the inside of the baguette sections and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes or until slightly crispy.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a portion of the sautéed mushrooms on one side of the toasted baguette.
Add a slice of provolone cheese (if using) and some caramelized onions on top of the mushrooms.
Top the sandwich with the other half of the baguette.
Serve the sandwiches with a small bowl of warm vegetable au jus for dipping. Enjoy your Vegetarian Classic French Dip Sandwich!
