- 450 grams Wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), cleaned and sliced

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the sliced wild mushrooms and thyme leaves. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and reduce in size.

Add the diced potato, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
