Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 250 grams button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk, full-fat
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the onions are translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the coconut milk and nutritional yeast to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the sauce and serve it hot with your choice of pasta, rice, or any suitable dish.
