Creamy mushroom sauce

What is missing fromthis title of creamy mushroom sauce, you might ask? It is not just any sauce...

IT IS A COFFEE BASED SAUCE!

Fear not, IT WON'T LEAVE YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT as it is such a small amount of coffee but just enough to make it have an amazing coffee flavor!

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

• 250 g Chestnut mushrooms (any type will work here as what matters is the sauce)
• 2 Spring Onions
• 300 mL Plant based milk
• 1 tsp Instant coffee
• 1 tsp Mustard
• 1 tsp Corn starch
• 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked Garlic
• Pinch of salt

HOW TO MAKE THIS CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE?

Heat a nonstick frying pan on medium heat and add the chopped spring onions to it. Leave to cook for 5 minutes.

Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for 10 minutes.

If you are wondering if you need to chop the mushrooms?

The answer is, it depends. If you like feeling the texture, just go ahead and leave them whole, if not and you are a bit of in a hurry, just chop them into slices and that will speed up the cooking time!

Now, to the coffee mix! The SECRET INGREDIENT of this recipe

In a bowl, mix, the instant coffee with the milk, spices, mustard and cornstarch. Mix well so there are no big lumps in the cornstarch! Usually it dissolves really well.

THE FINAL STEP

When the mushrooms are almost ready, add the coffee mix and it is done!

What do you serve it with?

Anything you like! For me, so far this has included:

• Toasted bread
• Rice
• Pasta
• Couscous

As you can see, absolutely anything goes well with this!
