  • 1/2 oz . dried porcini mushrooms
  • 3.5 oz oyster or shitake mushrooms
  • 3 Tbsp . olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp . tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion diced
  • 2 1/4-2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 tsp . fresh rosemary chopped
  • dash of white pepper
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 3 tsp . apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp . lemon juice

Instructions

  • For the Cashew Cream:
  • Soak the cashews for 30 minutes to soften. Rinse and drain the cashews and place in a blender.
  • While the cashews are soaking, place the dried porcinis in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup vegetable broth and heat on medium-low heat to soften for a few minutes.
  • RESERVE and STRAIN the broth from the porcinis and add it to the blender. Chop the porcinis and set aside.
  • Add the lemon, apple cider vinegar, and salt to the blender and puree until smooth. You might need to add up to 1/4 cup more vegetable broth to make it smooth. Set aside the cashew cream.
  • While the cashews are soaking, chop the mushrooms, onion, garlic, and rosemary.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, sauté the red onion and rosemary until soft, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add 1 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari and simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release and develop the flavor. Deglaze with white wine and cook for about 1 minute until it;s reduced.
  • Add the cashew cream, 1 more Tbsp. tamari or soy sauce, and 1 and a 1/2 cup of vegetable broth and stir to combine. Season with a dash of white pepper. Season with more salt if needed.
  • Let simmer for up to one minute until the sauce comes together.
