Creamy Mushroom Sauce
• A combination of mushroom varieties creates the richest flavor. • For a smoother sauce, blend part or all of the finished sauce. • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of vegetable broth to thin it. • Cashew cream creates a richer texture, while oat or soy cream offers a lighter option. • This sauce pairs well with polenta, pasta, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, lentil patties, or grain bowls. Health Benefits: Mushrooms provide fiber, potassium, B vitamins, and antioxidant compounds that support immune and metabolic health. Garlic and onions contain prebiotic compounds that support a healthy gut microbiome. Using plant-based cream instead of heavy cream can reduce saturated fat while still creating a rich, satisfying texture. This sauce adds depth of flavor and nutrients to a variety of plant-forward meals.

Gradually pour in vegetable broth while whisking to prevent lumps. 6. Add the plant-based cream, salt, and black pepper. 7.
