Tips That Will Ease Your Job!

  1. Prep Ahead: Slice the onions, garlic, and mushrooms in advance so you can quickly assemble the ingredients while cooking.
  2. Choose the Right Pan: Use a wide, deep skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent overcrowding of the mushrooms.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a bit more plant-based milk to reach your desired creaminess.
  4. Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh thyme, parsley, or tarragon add a burst of flavor—don’t skip this step for extra freshness.
  5. Customize the Flavor: Feel free to add a splash of lemon juice or a dash of smoked paprika for added depth.
