Description
A warm, creamy dish featuring tender mushrooms, creamy beans, and vibrant herbs, perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 oz (280g) mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Optional: crusty bread, pasta, or rice for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms, seasoning them with thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
- Add the white beans to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Pour in the broth and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Stir in the cream and continue to cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. If using Parmesan, add it now and stir until it’s melted and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve as-is, or spoon the creamy mixture over crusty bread, pasta, or rice for an extra comforting experience.
