‘Marry Me’ Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 350 g mushrooms (or your preferred plant-based protein, e.g. tofu, tempeh, butter beans or similar)
• ½ white onion
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ½ teaspoon parsley
• ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
• 80 g chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon plain flour
• 300 ml vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon tomato purée
• 100 ml plant-based cream or tinned coconut milk
• salt and pepper, to taste
• fresh basil, to serve

Method

Finely chop the white onion and sauté in a pan with oregano, parsley and chilli flakes. Once the onions have softened, add the chopped garlic and mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the sun-dried tomatoes and coat everything with a sprinkling of flour. Once coated, slowly add in the vegetable stock, tomato purée and plant-based cream, stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for 5 minutes.

Season to taste and stir in some fresh basil leaves.

Serve with fluffy mashed potato and steamed greens of your choice.
