INGREDIENT NOTES:

MUSHROOMS:

• When we roast mushrooms, they become soft. They also absorb all the other flavors while cooking. Also, we get a natural taste from them. You can utilize either cremini or button mushrooms. Sliced portobello mushrooms are also an option.

VEGAN BUTTER:

• Vegan butter makes the dish creamy. You do not have to use dairy. We get a rich flavor. Vegan butter melts nicely while cooking. It makes the mushrooms shiny. Use olive oil rather than vegan butter for a substitute. But the flavor will be different.

• It gives a good aroma and flavor when you mix it with mushrooms. Rather than garlic, you can also use one tsp of garlic powder.

THYME & PARSLEY:
