Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 500 grams Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.

Step 2

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to brown and release their moisture.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, ensuring it is evenly distributed among the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper, mixing to coat well.

Step 5

Sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour over the mushrooms, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flour to slightly toast.

Step 6

Gradually add the heavy cream while stirring to combine well with the flour and mushrooms. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer gently until the cream thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Add fresh thyme leaves and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the creamy mushrooms immediately. Enjoy as a side dish or use as a sauce over your favorite grilled protein or gluten-free pasta.
