Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms and Vegetables
- 400g fresh button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Liquids and Seasonings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 100ml plant-based cream
- 100ml vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by cleaning your mushrooms gently with a damp cloth and slicing them evenly. Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion to ensure everything cooks uniformly.
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion first and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then stir in garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant but not browned, keeping the flavor delicate and fresh.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown beautifully on the edges, about 8-10 minutes. This step intensifies the mushroom flavor and caramelizes their natural sugars.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth, plant-based cream, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring continuously. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms, about 5 minutes.
- Final Touches: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Your creamy garlic mushrooms are now ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help everything cook evenly and prevent condensation from watering down the sauce.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; give your mushrooms space so they brown instead of steam.
- Choose fresh mushrooms for the best texture and natural umami flavor.
- Stir in the natural gelling agent gradually to ensure a perfect creamy texture without clumps.
- Adjust creaminess by adding more plant-based cream for a richer sauce or broth for a lighter finish.
