Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 400 grams fresh mushrooms (button, cremini, or mixed), sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or full-fat milk
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for depth of flavor)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden brown, about 7–8 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly; cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat and stir in cream, thyme, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and paprika. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes until the stew reaches a creamy, rich texture. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
