Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms and Bacon

  • 300g fresh button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 100g smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Flavorings and Seasonings

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Sauce and Texture

  • 200ml plant-based cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly for even cooking. Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the smoked turkey bacon into small pieces to build layers of flavor.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms and Bacon: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and slightly caramelized. Add the smoked turkey bacon and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until crispy and fragrant.
  3. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown it. Mix in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper to taste.
  4. Pour in Plant-Based Cream: Reduce heat to low and gently pour in the plant-based cream. Stir to meld flavors and thicken the sauce slightly. Add the natural gelling agent and mix thoroughly to achieve a luxuriously creamy texture.
  5. Finish with Apple Cider Vinegar and Parsley: Add a splash of apple cider vinegar (natural) to brighten the sauce. Fold in chopped fresh parsley, give a final stir, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure mushrooms brown instead of steam.
  • Simmer sauce on low heat to prevent splitting of the plant-based cream.
  • Add garlic after mushrooms have softened to avoid burning.
  • Use natural gelling agent sparingly to keep the texture smooth and not stiff.
