An extremely delicious creamy mushroom sauce without any dairy. Perfect over chicken, fish or pasta.
Warm the olive oil with butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Throw in the onions, garlic and chilli flakes.
Once the onions have browned, add in the thyme and mushrooms. Make sure that you do not add salt at this stage. Fry the mushrooms till you get a lovely deep brown colour.
OPTIONAL - Pour in the white wine and wait till the alcohol bubbles away and it becomes a sticky syrup.
While the white wine is cooking away, dissolve the stock cube in a cup of hot water. Pour the stock liquid into the mushrooms and simmer for a few minutes.
Remove around 2 tablespoons of the mushrooms along with some of the liquid into a blender. Blend till a smooth paste is formed.
Pour the blended mushrooms back into the sauce. Simmer for another minute or two till the sauce slightly thickens. Taste for salt and add if required along with pepper. Your sauce is now ready!
