Makes about 3 servings

Ingredients

250 gm sliced button mushrooms
1 large onion coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tablet vegetable stock
1/2 liter full cream
1 tbsp fresh herbs like thyme, chives, rosemary and/or basil

Instruction

  • Dissolve the vegetable stock tablet in 100 ml hot water and keep aside.
  • Add olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, toss the onions and crushed garlic until the onions are soft and light brown.
  • Add mushrooms and cook just until soft (don’t overcook or they lose their texture!).
  • Add the vegetable stock followed by cream and reduce heat to minimum. Simmer for about 5 minutes and garnish with fresh herbs.
  • Enjoy with freshly baked bread or crackers!
