Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms and Aromatics
- 250g fresh button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Sauce
- 200ml plant-based cream
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly so they cook uniformly. Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their aroma. Chop fresh parsley for garnish. These simple preparations will help the cooking process go smoothly.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to brown and release their moisture, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning and encourage even coloring.
- Add Garlic and Seasonings: Once the mushrooms are golden, add minced garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt. Season with salt and black pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
- Pour in Plant-Based Cream and Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce: Reduce heat to low and stir in the plant-based cream and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Add the natural gelling agent and mix gently. Let the sauce simmer so that it thickens slightly, coating every mushroom piece beautifully.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley for a pop of green and freshness. Adjust seasoning to taste, then serve immediately to enjoy the creamy garlicky warmth.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook mushrooms in batches if necessary to prevent steaming and achieve a nice sear.
- Simmer the sauce gently to thicken without curdling the plant-based cream.
- Mince garlic just before cooking to maximize flavor and aroma.
- Season gradually and taste often; adjust salt and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) little by little.
