An exceptional creamy sauce for all mushroom lovers!
This sauce is our favourite way to prepare mushrooms, because it is extremely tasty and at the same time very easy to prepare, the whole preparation takes you less than half an hour! If you love mushrooms, you should definitely try it, as it contains a lot of fresh mushrooms, and a some mushroom powder for a really intense and aromatic taste.
This sauce will impress you by its appearance and taste! It tastes like creamy mushroom sauce, that os often served in restaurants. It used to be our favourite, but unfortunately it is not vegan, because it contains dairy. So of course we had to create our own version that is vegan and way healthier than the one from the restaurants! It does not contain a drop of oil, but it is still full of flavour, creamy and smooth. The creamy look and taste is created by the combination of almond milk and corn starch, which thickens the sauce just right.
Side dish
The sauce goes well with a side of gnocchi, potatoes, rice or pasta. This time we served it with delicious homemade pumpkin gnocchi.
Ingredients
Mushrooms
The main ingredient of this delicious sauce are of course fresh mushrooms, we usually use brown champignons, which are very tasty and at the same time wonderful to look at. You can also use white champignons, porcini mushrooms or any other type of mushroom. Along to fresh mushrooms we like to add a little bit of homemade mushroom powder, which gives the sauce an even more intense mushroom flavour. If you don’t have the powder, you can easily skip it and the sauce will still be very tasty.
Spices
Spices are also very important for the excellent taste of the sauce, you need: salt, garlic powder, parsley and soy sauce. Another important ingredient is nutritional yeast, which has a nice cheesy taste. If you haven’t tried it yet, we highly recommend yo to give it a try, as it is a great ingredient to cook with. But if you don’t have it, you can replace it with a little more soy sauce.
Other ingredients
The rest of the ingredients that you need are onion, almond milk and corn starch. Almond milk combined with corn starch creates a creamy look and taste of the sauce. It is recommended to use sugar-free almond milk, which has a neutral taste and is therefore also suitable for salty dishes.
