Ingredients

• 250 grams Cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 large Shallot, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then finely chop them.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chopped shallot and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until they are browned and the moisture has evaporated, approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Allow the stock to simmer and reduce by half, taking around 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5-6 minutes until it slightly thickens.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For a smoother cream, carefully puree the mixture using an immersion blender to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Serve the low-carb mushroom cream warm, over steak, chicken, or on its own for a creamy flavor boost to any meal.
