Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
