Ingredients

  • 10 oz mushrooms ((cremini, white, portabella or a mix))
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1.5 tbsp vegan worchestershire sauce (or use soy sauce or coconut aminos for soyfree)
  • 1 tsp prepared mustard or 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground sage
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary ((divided, 1 tsp if using dried))
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2.5 cups low sodium vegetable broth/stock ((divided))
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper (, less or more to preference)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or potato starch
  • 1/2 cup cashew cream or non dairy cream ((optional))

Method

  1. Finely chop the mushroom, onion and garlic, by knife or in a food processor. Add to the instant pot. (Alternatively, You can cook the onion and garlic in 1/4 cup broth or wine on saute, for a few mins for additional flavor and then add mushrooms).
  2. Add the spices, herbs, 1 tsp rosemary, salt, Worcestershire (or use 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 2 tablespoons red wine) and 1 cup broth..(Additional flavors such as poultry seasoning, herbs can be added at this point. Use bouillon with water instead of broth.)
  3. Mix well to combine. The mixture will look dry but mushrooms leak a ton of moisture under pressure. See stove top instructions in notes.
  4. Close the lid. Pressure cook for 20 mins. Let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid.
  5. Start saute. Add more fresh rosemary, white pepper. Mix starch in 1.5 cups of broth and add in. Bring to a boil. Add 1/2 cup cashew cream for creamier (optional), or use a nutfree non dairy cream or 1 tbsp toasted flour(wheat or rice) mixed in 1/4 cup broth for additional thickening). Taste and adjust salt and flavor by adding more if needed. Add some soy sauce if needed. Simmer for another 1-2 mins.
