Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
450g (1 lb) mushrooms (cremini or mixed), sliced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup canned coconut milk or unsweetened plant-based cream
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for umami)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Cooked pasta or mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions:

Sauté the Base:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Cook the Mushrooms:
Add sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook for 6–8 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown.
Add Seasoning:
Stir in smoked paprika and soy sauce. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the mushrooms.
Make it Creamy:
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add coconut milk and nutritional yeast (if using). Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Season & Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, and top with fresh parsley.
