Mushroom Sauce for Everything!

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be less expensive depending on the type.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

Homemade broth is healthier and can be made from scraps.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: coconut aminos

Tamari is gluten-free and coconut aminos is often cheaper.

Heat oil and melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat.

Add mushrooms and leisurely cook until golden brown - takes about 4 to 5 minutes. No need to stir constantly.

Just before they're done, add the garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden (~ 1 minute).

Add white wine - it will sizzle! Stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, for 1 minute or until mostly evaporated.

Add broth, cream and parmesan. Stir, then lower heat to medium so the sauce is simmering - do not boil rapidly, cream may split.

Stir occasionally and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes until it thickens. It shouldn't be super thick, this is a rich sauce.

Stir through thyme, adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from stove.
