Ingredients

• 16 ounces button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 4 slices crusty bread or toast

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or a soft brush to remove any dirt. Trim the stems and slice the mushrooms evenly.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, ensuring it doesn’t brown.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown slightly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Then mix in the heavy cream.

Step 9

Stir in the thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let cook for 5-7 minutes, until thickened and creamy.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.

Step 11

Serve hot over slices of crusty bread or toast for a delicious meal. Alternatively, pair it with rice or mashed potatoes for a heartier option.
