Blended to velvety perfection with butter and nutritional yeast, this savory sauce boasts layers of complexity, ideal for draping over crusty toast or tender pasta. Ready in just 45 minutes, this vegetarian masterpiece redefines indulgence with every creamy spoonful.
Clean the king oyster mushrooms and cut them lengthwise into thick slices, mimicking the size of bone marrow.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushroom slices and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and shallots and sauté for about 3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the fresh thyme to the skillet and stir it in with the garlic and shallots.
Pour in the red wine and deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce and vegetable broth; bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cooked mushroom slices back to the skillet, along with balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy. Be careful, as the mixture will be hot.
Return the blended sauce back to the skillet to warm through before serving.
Serve the luxurious vegetarian bone marrow sauce over toast or pasta, and garnish with chopped parsley.
