INGREDIENT NOTES:
Olive Oil:
- Make use of it in order to stir-fry the vegetables. It improves the taste & makes the meal light. In place of this, you may consider replacing avocado oil.
Onions and Garlic:
- These are flavor foundations. Cut them small enough so that they will melt into the sauce. Essence is offered by garlic.
Mushrooms:
- Combine the types in a mix, should you want to. To ensure they cook softly, cut them into slices of the same size.
Flour:
- Assists the sauce to thicken. Boil it for one minute to take the raw off. And in case you need it, you may utilize gluten-free flour.
Plant-Based Milk:
- The most flavorful milk is the unsweetened one. Avoid sweetened milk or milk with flavours.
Dijon Mustard:
- Complexes a pinch of tart. It goes along with the creamy sauce. To get some texture, you may use whole grain mustard.
Soy Sauce:
- Brings in texture and flavour. It gives shelf life to the mustard. Tamari will do in case you require gluten-free.
Thyme:
- When used sparingly, it has a herbaceous flavor. It may be replaced with the Italian seasoning.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Firstly, warm up the olive oil on low heat.
- Add the pieces of onion and cook them for 3 minutes.
- Stir for one minute after adding the garlic.
- Sliced mushrooms should be added.
- Cook up to 8-10 minutes till mushrooms shrink and release their water.
- Add flour to it. Mix well for one minute.
- Mix in the dairy-free milk. With the back of the spoon, stir into a uniform confection.
- Add the mustard & soy sauce as well as the thyme.
- Stir and place on a low simmering heat.
- Incorporate on low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Season and add salt or pepper, as required.
- Switch off the heat & rest for a minute.
- Decorate with parsley (garnish), in case of use.
- Hot, it should be served with rice, bread, pasta, or potatoes.
TIPS:
- To achieve a deeper flavor, use the baby bella mushrooms.
- Include cooked lentils or tofu to increase the protein content.
- To add a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Make two times more to feed the leftover.
- In case the sauce is thickened, enough milk should be added to it to thin the sauce.
- It goes well with mashed potatoes.
STORAGE INFORMATION:
FRIDGE:
- Put leftovers into the fridge in a closed container. They last 3 to 4 days. Warm over the stove or in the oven. Stir in a bit of plant milk when it is too thick.
FREEZER:
- Keep for less than a month in a tightly closed container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. To get the greatest texture, reheat with a little milk added.
FAQs:
May I put canned mushrooms?
- It is good to use fresh mushrooms. This will need canned mushrooms, but they are fluffier and with less taste.
Is this gluten-free recipe?
- Yes, when you use tamari and not soy sauce in place of gluten-free flour. Do not miss labels.
May I add other vegetables?
- Yes! Add spinach, zucchinis/bell peppers. Put them in when the mushrooms are softened.
Could I prepare this in advance?
- Yes. It can be frozen and also reheated. Prepare the night before and take the next day.
