Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 2 medium Shallots, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Portabella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Blue cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 2

Add the diced shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced portabella mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 4

Sprinkle the thyme and all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour the vegetable stock into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, crumbled blue cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or your favorite pasta.
