Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g fresh cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 150ml plant-based cream
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon grape juice (natural)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Mushrooms: Start by cleaning your mushrooms gently with a damp cloth, then slice them evenly to ensure they cook uniformly. This step sets the stage for a perfect texture and appearance in your final dish.
  2. Sautéing the Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushroom slices and sauté until they release their natural juices and turn a lovely golden brown. This process intensifies their flavor and develops a beautiful umami base.
  3. Adding Garlic and Seasonings: Introduce the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan, stirring constantly until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned. Next, season with sea salt and black pepper, and add a splash of grape juice along with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to brighten the flavor landscape.
  4. Creating the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the plant-based cream and sprinkle in the natural gelling agent to gently thicken the sauce as it simmers. Allow the mixture to reduce slightly, stirring regularly until you achieve a smooth, velvety consistency that comfortably coats the mushrooms.
  5. Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then remove from heat. Garnish with extra fresh thyme leaves or a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper before serving to add visual appeal and a burst of aroma.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for a firmer bite and more pronounced mushroom flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook mushrooms in batches if necessary to allow even browning.
  • Stir gently after adding the plant-based cream to maintain a silky sauce and prevent mushroom breakdown.
  • Add garlic after mushrooms start browning to avoid bitterness.
  • Use chilled plant-based cream to prevent curdling and keep the sauce smooth.
