Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: - 500 g oyster mushrooms - 2 tablespoons of cream - 1 tablespoon of flour - 1/2 cup (about 125 ml) of white wine - 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil - 3 cloves of garlic - 1/2 teaspoon of vegeta (or salt to taste) - 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil (or fresh, if available) - Freshly ground pepper, to taste - A handful of fresh dill, finely chopped - Water, as needed Preparation: 1. Preparing the mushrooms: Start by washing the oyster mushrooms well under cold running water. These mushrooms are known for their firm texture and rich flavor, so you don't want to compromise their quality. After washing, cut them into smaller pieces, about 2-3 cm, to allow for even cooking. 2. Sautéing the mushrooms: In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden and release their juices. 3. Adding the garlic: Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the 3 cloves of garlic. When the mushrooms are ready, add the chopped garlic to the skillet. The strong and aromatic flavor of the garlic will perfectly complement the freshness of the mushrooms. 4. Deglazing with wine: After the garlic has started to release its aroma, pour the white wine into the skillet. Let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. The wine will add depth of flavor and help release the aromas from the skillet. 5. Preparing the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cream with the flour and a little water (about 2-3 tablespoons). This paste will give a creamy consistency to the sauce. Add the cream mixture over the mushrooms, mixing well to incorporate the ingredients. If the sauce is too thick, feel free to add a little water to achieve the desired consistency. 6. Seasoning: Season with vegeta, basil, and freshly ground pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the mushrooms are fully cooked. 7. Finishing the dish: Finally, add the finely chopped fresh dill and stir gently. The dill will bring a fresh note and a pleasant color to the dish. Serving suggestion: Oyster mushrooms in cream sauce pair perfectly with a side of mashed potatoes or pasta. You can also serve it with fresh bread to enjoy the creamy sauce. A simple green salad with tomatoes and cucumbers will balance the flavors very well and add a fresh contrast. Possible variations: You can experiment with this recipe by adding other vegetables, such as spinach or zucchini, or you can replace the cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version. You can also use mixed mushrooms for a variety of textures and flavors. Nutritional benefits: Oyster mushrooms are rich in B vitamins, which help support nervous system health, and are low in calories, making them an excellent choice for a balanced diet. They also contain antioxidants that contribute to overall health. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use other types of mushrooms?

Absolutely! You can omit the wine or replace it with vegetable broth or water, depending on your preferences. 3. How can I store the sauce for the next day? It is recommended to store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be reheated over low heat, adding a little water or cream to bring it back to the desired consistency. This recipe for oyster mushrooms in cream sauce is not only simple and quick but also extremely versatile! You can adapt it according to your preferences or the ingredients available.
