- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 16 ounces baby bella mushrooms , sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
- 1 cup canned coconut cream ( without preservatives, for Ex. Savoy)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- a pinch of salt
Add the olive oil to a large frying pan and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms and mix into the oil. Cook for about 4 minutes, without mixing the mushrooms at all.
Then mix them frequently while they cook for about 2-3 minutes. At this point the mushrooms should start shrinking in size and sweating.
Reduce the stovetop heat to medium. Cook the mushrooms for another 4 minutes without mixing them. Mix them, and then cook them while mixing every so often for the next 5-10 minutes, or until the are grilled and golden brown. They shouldn't be "wet" anymore by this point. Add the coconut cream, ground black pepper and salt to the dish and mix.
Let the sauce simmer and thicken for the next 1-3 minutes.
- Instead of coconut cream, you can use oat cream. Just know it won't be Paleo or Whole30.
- Instead of coconut cream, you can use a different non- dairy heavy cream replacement.
- You can add a splash of cognac or Porto to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Use less black pepper if you want less pepper taste.
