Notes

INGREDIENTS
  • I use button mushrooms, but any mushrooms of choice can be used. In the thermal method I do not use the mixer to chop the mushroom as I prefer them sliced in the sauce.
  • Cream can be replaced with coconut cream or stock/bone broth if preferred.
  • Parmesan can be swapped for any cheese or for a cheese free sauce add 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour.
  • Any herbs of choice can be used.
THERMOMIX MUSHROOM SAUCE
Making mushroom sauce in the Thermomix is easy. This recipe will thicken. If yours is still thin after resting for 5 minutes just cook it a little longer. 
STORAGE
  • The sauce can be made in bulk and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen as part of a meal or in individual serves.
  • When reheating sauce be careful to do so over low heat to avoid splitting the cream.
