Step by step instructions
Start by chopping the onion finely, slicing the mushrooms and mincing the garlic.
Now that all is ready, heat some olive oil over medium heat on a frying pan and, when shimmering, add the chopped onion and mushrooms and fry until golden, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Add the white wine and simmer until it has evaporated. Add the remaining ingredients and stir for 2 minutes.
Now you will be left with this super creamy sauce!
Tips and variations
Mushrooms - you could also use brown mushrooms or any other mushroom type.
Seasoning - if you like spicier sauces, you could add some chili flakes on top!
Frying mushrooms - the key to reaching the right consistency when cooking mushrooms is to pan fry them on a medium high heat until they are golden brown before adding any sauce so that they loose all their water content!
Side dishes
This mushroom sauce goes well with so many different sides, from potatoes, to rice, to a simple salad or even some pasta! It really comes up to what you feel like eating at the time!
So here are some suggestions:
- If you want to have some rice, try this with some lemon cilantro rice or some Portuguese tomato rice
- If you feel like potatoes, try these pan-fried potatoes and onions!
- If you feel like some salad, try this sauce with some arugula on the side and some quinoa!
