Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 250 milliliters unsalted vegetable stock
• 100 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, but do not let it brown.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the olive oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 5

Pour in the unsalted vegetable stock and stir to incorporate, allowing it to simmer for 3-4 minutes to enhance the mushroom flavor.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring the mixture gently.

Step 7

Add the fresh thyme and black pepper, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh parsley over the creamy mushrooms.

Step 10

Serve the low sodium creamy mushrooms hot, as a side or over toasted bread, pasta, or rice for a complete meal.
