Ingredients

• 500 g button mushrooms
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 small shallots
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 120 ml dry white wine
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 400 g canned diced tomatoes
• 120 ml vegetable stock
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Trim the ends of the stems if necessary.

Step 2

Finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to release their juices.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, canned diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, lemon juice, sugar, bay leaf, thyme sprigs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the mushrooms to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if necessary.

Step 9

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread or as part of a mezze platter.
