Notes
- stovetop: after the third step, sauté the mushroom over medium for 5-7 mins, deglazing as needed. Then add 1/3 to 1/2 cup water/cream and cover and cook for 15-30 mins(depending on size of mushroom, pan etc)
- To make this extra delicious, deglaze the sauteed mushrooms with white wine instead of water.
- Oilfree: Sauté in 2-3 tablespoons broth. Deglaze with more broth as needed and proceed
- No onion garlic: add 1/4 teaspoon more oregano. If you have asafetida, add a pinch of that. For the onion, use peeled and sliced zucchini or sliced fennel. Add 1/2 teaspoon miso.
- PIP(pot in pot) Mashed potatoes: cube the potatoes and add to a steamer basket right above the mushroom. Open the lid, remove the steamer. Mash the potatoes and add non dairy milk, herbs, salt as needed.
